| The Captain and the Enemy is fabled author Graham Greene's last novel. It features the doomed love affair between "The Captain," an enigmatic world traveler and Liza, the caretaker of his adopted son, Jim. It is Jim who carries the story along, following the Captain from England to Central America, trying to determine what, in fact, his mysterious parent is up to. But make no mistake about it: this is not a love story about the Captain and his mistress, or the Captain and his son. No, it is about the author and his failed mistress, Socialism. Greene was a most talented novelist, arguably the greatest of the twentieth century. His ability to supply humor to the most serious of life's moments is priceless. Yet his true motivation is often heavily guarded. His disdain for governmental espionage is classic. From "The Third Man" to "Our Man in Havana" to "The Quiet American" his attraction to socialism and even communism is apparent. But it is more his dislike of capitalism that drives his novels. He lived for many years in the most desperate parts of the world. That is, where the residents live in gravest of despair. He sides with them with the utmost charity; and when he sees the way Western civilization seems to ravage their countries, steal their natural resources and leave the people homeless and helpless, he sides with the ruthless leaders who do them even more harm. His later works created monsters of the Americans, in particular. This book, written just after President Carter signed the Panama Canal Treaty, when Reagan was the current president, is especially vicious towards the United States. Reagan, who supplied the Contras with arms in Nicaragua in their fight against the communist Sandanistas and their Cuban and Russian sponsors, gets the lion's share of his wrath; though Reagan himself is not named. There is no doubt that Reagan was directly involved in the Iran-Contra scandal; it was heavy-handed and wrong. But the Sandanistas turned out to be far worse for the poor Nicaraguan people. And it was in the 1980's when the astute Greene saw that socialism was the wrong path for these countries. He saw that the Soviet Union was crumbling from within. He realized that with education comes freedom; not with socialism. Yet he hung on to it even as it decayed from its own excesses. For example, in this book he goes so far as to cast blame on the State of Israel, even as it is being attacked from all sides by the forces of radical Islam, probably the most atrocious masters of human bondage in the world today. But Greene is still the prince of sarcasm; perhaps most notably here in his use of "King Kong." The poor movie-made ape is, to the end, imagined by the hapless Panamanians as the key to America's spy network. It is a fitting end to a story of failed love and the helpless human condition. | ||||
