Play review - "Command Decision" by William Wister Haines

Terrific 1948 play about a US bomber command where the head general has a unit suffering immense casualities - but will more lives be lost in the long run if they aren't inflicted? There is plenty of back ground politics as the general has to deal with rivals for his job, politicians, a (seemingly) weak superior officer, a mutinous officer, a troublesome journalist, his own conscience. Once I figured out who was who this was great.
