Georgie Anne Geyer considers three spring truth quests: The English Patient’s moral questions about a Nazi spy and a Zarzura legend, Soviet archives revealing consistency and ideology per John Lewis Gaddis, and George Bush’s daring parachute jump. Each pursuit shows different paths to truth: narrativized danger, archival revelation, and personal resolve.
