Additional Project Info
The story deals with the intertwining of crime, war, personal goals, and national goals during times of conflict, all of which history inevitably rips apart. It discusses the ramifications of pacifism during war and the sacrifices one must make for the greater good. It contrasts quest for treasure because of greed with quest for historical knowledge because of a commitment to truth.
