1. After reading Charles Day's excerpt posted on the Xlibris website it is clear that he has crafter a sound and cohesive collection of interesting WW II anecdotes.



2. The book is different in that it tells much of the irony rather than of the hell of war. Much of the work is in the form of anecdotes, epigrams and like episodes in the context of the WW II era. It reads as though it is by somebody who lived and knows what he's writing about, serving as a court reporter and with the Army Field Historical Section in WW II in Ireland England, Wales, Scotland, Algeria, Tunisia, Morocco, Egypt, Sicily, Italy, France, Belgium, Holland and Germany.
   In its own way it reminded a little of "Tales Of The South Pacific."

1. A friend lent me this book by Josephine Butler.
   
   It is extraordinary. She reports that Sir Winston Churchill told her to tell the absolute truth and she does so.
   
   She tells an amazing story of being Jay Bee, a member of a secret circle of agents, taking orders directly from Churchill and the operatives who reported to him directly.
   
   She tells us what it was like to be an agent of the British government, in touch with the Resistance, in occupied France during WW II.
   
   Her exploits are stupendous. She has a photographic memory. She speaks French fluently, and therefore is able to operate effectively in occupied France.
   
   What was most inspirational and astounding to me was her faith in the human spirit and eventual world peace, in the midst of war, torture, and horror.
   
   Despite her direct experience with some of the most horrific atrocities in the history of humankind, she still believes in the inherent goodness of human beings.
   
   A great book -- exciting, full of information about WW II, and spiritually inspiring.

2. A terrific book. I could not stop listening. It is a great story and the fact that it is a true story makes it even better. It is a fascinating story of world war II espionage. This woman is a true hero and her story should be given more attention. I would reccomend this to anyone.



3. This is a book-on-tape selected by accident while searching for British mysteries. And what a fortuitous accident it was. This is the story of a British female physician, very familiar with France due to a long period of residence there, who was selected to be a member of Winston Churchill's Secret Circle of spies. The detail of the accounts of her preparation and adventures in France, running from the Gestapo, establishing collaborator networks, rival the best of fictional novels. This autobiography will rivet your attention from beginning to end, and hope someday for the movie. Bravo, Jay Bee, and thanks!!

1 comments about C.S. Lewis: Memories and Reflections.

1. If you happen to have a copy of the out of print book LIGHT ON C.S. LEWIS, you have basically all the comments that Lawlor has to give about his memories of the man. As for the commentary Lawlor gives on Lewis's books, I found it uneven. Unlike the lucid Lewis, Lawlor's sentences are often murky and their meanings difficult to understand. His commentaries on Lewis's books didn't really enlighten anything. I have been an avid reader of Lewis for a long time, and this is the first time I bought a book about Lewis in which I returned to the bookstore for a refund when I was finished.
