Actuality of the qualification paper. The second part of the novel, titled "Novel as History: The Battle for the Pentagon," begins with the image of a writer passing the baton to a historian with a happy smile. This section of the book is much shorter and looks at the March on the Pentagon from a much broader perspective than just Mailer's. It opens with a discussion of the organization of both sides of the March - the pro-war and anti-war camps. Groups organize by planning which routes and locations will be used, and protesters and the government negotiate the protest down to the smallest detail. Neither side is willing to give up an inch. On the day of the march, Mailer discusses the tactics and tools used by each side, from civil disobedience by protesters to violent action taken by the military. This segment contains first-hand accounts of attacked protesters. Finally, the last hour of the protest is recorded in detail. Loudspeakers are warning protesters to disperse before midnight, and buses are doing their best to disperse them all. A few select, ardent protesters refuse to leave. Mailer again ends the passage with religious imagery and ends the book with a discussion of his personal feelings about the war and the protests.

CHAPTER I AMERICAN AUTHOR NORMAN MAILER
Mailer grew up in Brooklyn and graduated from Harvard University in 1943 with a degree in aeronautical engineering. Drafted into the army in 1944, he served in the Pacific until 1946. When he was enrolled at the Sorbonne in Paris, he wrote The Naked and the Dead (1948), which was immediately recognized as one of the best American novels to come out of World War II.
Mailer's success at the age of 25 raised the hope that he would evolve from a war novelist into a leading literary figure of the post-war generation. But Mailer's search for themes and forms to give meaningful expression to what he considered the problems of his time led him to engage in research work that was not very popular. His second novels, Barbary Shore (1951) and Deer Park (1955), received a hostile and mixed reception from critics. His next major work was the long essay The White Negro (1957), a sympathetic study of the fringe social type, the hipster.
