In a review of the play-doctored production of 1940, Joseph Wood Krutch thought Hemingway failed to pursue the unsettling moral-political implications of The Fifth Column "because it is plainly so much easier to develop instead the easily managed story of the hero's love affair with an American girl" (372).
National Book Award (NONFIC) The Measure of Man on Freedom, Human Values, Survival, and the Modern Temper By Joseph Wood Krutch Adhering to themes of his classic social analysis, The Modern Temper (1929), Krutch--a literary critic, social philosopher, and natural history writer--asserts that at the very least, people possess two qualities: reason (the capacity to create and act upon individual values) and choice.
