Deever was sent to prison while Keller escaped punishment and went on to make lots of money. In a work of tremendous power, a love affair between Keller's son, Chris, and Ann Deever, Herbert's daughter, the bitterness of George Keller, who returns from the war to find his father in prison and his father's partner free, and the reaction of a son to his father's guilt escalate toward a climax of electrifying intensity.

The best American playwright i read for until now, although this play not as good as his masterpiece Death of a Salesman.The characters are well presented, until the last page you discover something new about them. The plot is not very strong, and i didn't like its end. The language not poetic or got significant beauty but very expressing. While Death of a Salesman is an important achievement in American modern plays, a pioneer in its characters Psychological presentation, All My Sons is aAnother book I think I'll like more after studying it...We shall see!
I had read Arthur Miller in high school, "The Crucible" & " Death of a Salesman" which I will re-read at some point but "All My Sons" was new but not so new to me. I had heard the OTR (Old Time Radio) version and heard someone, Michael Savage, on the radio mention it years ago, so I knew the gist of this very poignant and of human importance play. Why I say it is important for human beings to read this play because as I will remark later, when "our" interest is placed more important than
Miller suggests Americas idols (family, profit) rest on lies and erode moral community.
Arthur Miller capturing a family drama.. so recklessly and beautifully. I read this for my own enjoyment after Ive had a very good experience with The Crucible (which I read for school), and I might just pick up more for Miller because I cant get enough of his writing.
I'm at a loss for words.This was just... incredible.Holy shit.
In the space of two acts, I went from giving this a potential 3 star rating to a 5. Arthur Miller sure knows how to write a play, and the shocks just kept on coming with this one! Going into this short three act play, I didn't think this would be one that would stick with me like 'The Crucible' did. Act 1 introduced a lot of characters at once, and I found it quite difficult to remember who was who. I found myself constantly flicking back to the character list, just to try to keep myself right.
