unexpected accident and the law of succession have just made Douglass
Dilman the first black President of the United States. This is the
theme of what was surely one of the most provocative novels of the
1960s. It takes the reader into the storm center of the presidency,
where Dilman, until now an almost unknown senator, must bear the weight
of three burdens: his office, his race, and his private life.
From beginning to end, "The Man is a novel of swift and tremendous
drama, as President Dilman attempts to uphold his oath in the face of
international crises, domestic dissension, violence, scandal, and
ferocious hostility. Push comes to shove in a breathtaking climax,
played out in the full glare of publicity, when the Senate of the United
States meets for the first time in one hundred years to impeach the
President. Views: 31
