What will President Knox do when confronted by the most awesome challenge of atomic war between Russia and China.

In 1975`s The Promise of Joy, Vice Presidential nominee Ted Jason and Beth Knox are the two killed, and Orrin Knox is elected as President. Deterred by Knox`s inflexible will, the Russians and Chinese begin a war with each other. Knox advises the nation that the United States will intervene in the Sino-Soviet conflict, but does not specify how or on which side, and the situation does not resolve itself before the end of the novel.


In late 1943, Allen Drury was a 25-year old army veteran looking for work. A position as the United States Senate correspondent for United Press International provided Drury not only with employment, but with an insider`s knowledge of the United States Senate.

In addition to fulfilling his duties as a reporter, Drury also kept a journal of his views of the Senate and individual senators. In addition to the Senates personalities, Drury`s journal captured the events, large and small, of the Seventy-eighth and Seventy-ninth United States Congress Congresses.
