Public Men

PUBLIC MEN, The third novel in the recently deceased Allen Drury's Stanford University fraternity brothers trilogy is the final journey for this class of men. Though the political thriller expected from a Drury novel is faint, the story line remains extremely interesting due to the insight of the octogenarian group of shakers looking back on their respective lives. All three novels in this set are quite good for different reasons and are highly recommended (see TOWARD WHAT BRIGHT GLORY? and INTO WHAT FAR HARBOR?), but so are most of Mr. Drury's other works (see, for example, the Pulitzer Prize winning ADVICE AND CONSENT).Harriet Klausner
