Once an Eagle

"When it was first published, ONCE AN EAGLE was remarked on for presenting its readers with a hero, a figure hard to come by in the late Sixties....He is brave and humane [and] almost believable. His character is supple and complex, and if he is finally presented as too good to be true, the difficulties of representing goodness in a novel are notorious....There's a lot to be said for Sam Damon. His story and his world view suggest a vision of a social-democratic elitism based on service--as opposed to one of privilege.Myrer, Anton is the author of 'Once an Eagle' with ISBN 9780060196967 and ISBN 0060196963.
