Vidal has supplied a specially written Preface for this edition of his play, in which he sets forth his reasons for his adaptation “dealing with inherently American problems of politics and power”.  At Mr. Vidal’s suggestion, Duerrenmatt’s Romulus the Great is also given in translation from the original German by Gerhard Nellhaus for the reader who wishes to make his own judgment concerning the merits of the two plays.  Exceptional.
