Story4.5 out of 5 stars 60
By early 1943, it had become increasingly clear the Allies would win the Second World War. Christian intellectuals on both sides of the Atlantic thought the soon-to-be-victorious nations were not culturally or morally prepared for their success. These Christian intellectuals - Jacques Maritain, T. S. Eliot, C. S. Lewis, W. H. Auden, and Simone Weil, among others - sought both to articulate a sober and reflective critique of their own culture and to outline a plan for the moral and spiritual regeneration of their countries in the post-war world.

Good book. Want a human reader though
Reviewed: 02-19-25
I think the book is good and well-written, but did not enjoy the very obviously non-human "reader" - the reading was often halting and added unusual and unnecessary pauses, emphases, and pronunciations that were pretty much continuous throughout the reading and made it difficult to follow the authors point and therefore frustrating to listen to. Please pay a real human being to read this book.
