A story about choices, responsibility, and the hardship of command in war. Conrad packs a lot into this tale and its ending was well conceived; however, the tale is framed as a story within a story, and that element did not work well for me. The conversation that opens this story between the commander and a woman added nothing and, in fact, was almost confusing. ( )
