Commentary/review

A good story and a good performance. The plot raises questions of responsibility, duty and sacrifice, while not omitting several down-to-earth topics like career, survival and mental heath. When is the leader no longer fit to lead? Who should intervene? How to assess the decision to intervene? Should the decision to intervene be entirely independent?

I miss the USA depicted in this work but perhaps it had never existed after all.

The cover could use more care and attention.
