The Vicar's Revenge
By Stanley Hoffmann
Caveat: Realism, Reagan, and Foreign Policy
by Alexander M. Haig Jr.
Macmillan, 367 pp., $17.95
Less and less time passes between the moment our high officials leave office and the publication of their memoirs. General Haig's appear only twenty-one months after his dismissal. No doubt some books would profit from more time and care, but this is not one of them. Reading it, one does not know what to admire less, the mind of the author or the workings of the Reagan administration, which he describes and condemns.
