The War Memorial in the planetary capital of Orligia was unique, but it very definitely was not a nice object.
'Tableau' proves beyond any possible doubt that James White was a muscular pacifist concerning militarism and those moral imbeciles who fight to the last drop of everybody else's blood. From Gary Louie's 'Sector General Timeline' (see The White Papers): "After a bad first contact, Earth and Orligia are at war for three years./Earth-human MacEwan and orligian Grawlya-Ki are stopped [in tableau vivant form]./After 236 years, Grawlya-Ki and MacEwan are brought out of stasis." Retroblurb: "Makes All Quiet on the Western Front look like a vicarage tea party!"
