Summary:
With a missing leg Devries turns to politics as a means of serving the country, but it's not clear that his heroism and relationship with the black Americans in his unit will be enough to challenge Snopes, who manipulated his voters for decades with the narrative that he was fighting bigotry in Mississippi. This passage too contains parentheses saying "(this is Charles talking)" and even "(this is still Charles)," but it still reads more like a third-person paraphrase than a first-person narrative (340).
