Synopsis

The secret war in 'The Ministry of Fear' is between those who pity and those who can bear pain--other people's pain endlessly, the people who don't care....To feel compassion for someone is to make oneself their equal; to pity them is to regard oneself as their superior and from that eminence the step to the torture chamber and the corrective labor camp is shorter that one thinks. For providing us with such exciting reading and at the same time exposing so clearly a great and typical heresy of our time, Graham Greene deserves our lasting gratitude.
