Postwar family drama reveals America's moral conflict.

"All My Sons" is a stirring must-read because it digs into the complexities of ethics and responsibility, especially in the landscape of capitalist America. Arthur Miller masterfully presents characters that embody the struggle between personal gain and moral duty, crafting a narrative that not only tells a compelling story but also prompts the reader to question their own beliefs and values. It's a powerful, thought-provoking piece that resonates just as much today as it did when it first captivated audiences.
