This author's interest in Egypt was reflected in his book Egypt: The Eternal Smile, as well as in his two novels fictionalizing the life of Akhenaten, A God Against the Gods and Return to Thebes. He wrote about the members of the 1939 Alpha Zeta fraternity house in a trilogy beginning with Toward What Bright Glory? One of his novels ends on the cliffhanging note of Ted Jason being shot at, and this author subsequently wrote two separate novels exploring what happened if he lived or died. This author of The Promise of Joy and Come Nineveh, Come Tyre featured such villains as racist Rufus Kleinfert, black militant LeGage Shelby, and the head of COMFORT, Fred Van Ackerman. His most famous novel features a subplot involving the homosexual affair of Brigham Anderson during World War II. That novel ends with Orrin Knox on his way to Switzerland after he, and not the leftist Bob Leffingwell, becomes Secretary of State. For 10 points, name this conservative author who won the 1959 Pulitzer for Advise and Consent.
