Summary

A political satire, told as a court transcript, about the court-martial of a general gone rogue. "Time: the not too distant future. Place: a small island in the temperate zone. Scene: air-force headquarters." As Corporal Edwin Velder, on trial for his life--accused of acts against the military, government, and society--reconstructs the events, we learn of a country's descent into political tyranny. When the inevitable verdict is pronounced, Velder's testimony just might bring on a second political revolution
