This book, originally published in England in 1972, features the heavy-handed story of six men looking for a peaceful place to live. Prosperity leads to fear, which leads to war. The allegory ends as the men leave in search of a new peaceful place. Stark black-and-white art suits McKee's equally stark view of humanity.
