The Question of Major Eatherly
By Edgar Z. Friedenberg
The Hiroshima Pilot
by William Bradford Huie
Putnam, 318 pp., $5.95
In the last sentence of his book, Mr. Huie declares: 'I believe the story of Claude Eatherly and his publicists curiously illuminates the time in which we live.' How true—how very true—this statement is, and how livid the illumination. I have no independent source of verification of the account Mr. Huie unfolds. I cannot judge the accuracy of the book; but I must take it for what it is. There isn't unfortunately, much doubt about that.
