Book Description
Literary Converts is a biographical exploration into the spiritual lives of some of the greatest writers in the English language: Oscar Wilde, Evelyn Waugh, C.S. Lewis, Malcolm Muggeridge, Graham Greene, Edith Sitwell, Siegfried Sassoon, Hilaire Belloc, G.K. Chesterton, Dorothy Sayers, T.S. Eliot and J.R.R. Tolkien. The role of George Bernard Shaw and H.G. Wells in intensifying the religious debate despite not being converts themselves is also considered. Many will be intrigued to know more about what inspired their literary heroes; others will find the association of such names with Christian belief surprising or even controversial. Whatever viewpoint we may have, Literary Converts touches on some of the most important questions of the twentieth century, making it a fascinating read.

Brilliant survey of 20th century English Catholic writers.......2004-11-12
Starting with Oscar Wilde (of all people) and ending more or less with the rather sad deaths of Evelyn Waugh, Hugh Ross Williamson, and Alec Guiness, Joseph Pearce has created an enjoyable, readable, and enormously fun history of English converts and near-converts to Catholicism. It's hard to even recall how many names wander about this book. There are so many of them - Chesterton & Belloc, of course, but also Waugh, C.S. Lewis, Tolkien, Ronald Knox, Roy Campbell, Graham Greene, Dorothy Parker and many others wander in and out of the narrative. His writing style is very rapid - some chapters are only a few pages long, and the book is a very quick read. More an introduction than in-depth biographies, the author aims at breath rather then depth. As he has written many other biographies on the same subjects and includes many footnoted sources, if you want more info you can easily find it. One complaint is a total lack of goodies aside from the footnotes mentioned above -no forward or intro, no conclusion, no photos, and, what really would have been helpful, no list of works these authors wrote.
The star of the book, if he can be called such, is Chesterton. Through his personality, writing, and wit, he seems to have drawn more converts to the Catholic Church than all of the others combined. Ironically enough, Chesterton did not convert until 1922, only 14 years before his death and long after many were persuaded to join through his writings. His writings pop up over and over, long after his death, and I suspect he will continue to draw in converts far into the future - the author himself converted because of reading Chesterton.
Compelling Stories of Faith.......2004-10-18
Throughout the twentieth century, many of England's key literary figures converted to Catholicism and the Anglo-Catholic wing of the Church of England. This book neatly traces their spiritual journeys, and how they profoundly influenced each other along the way. Pearce devotes attention to such giants as Hilaire Belloc (a rare literary cradle Catholic), Chesterton, Ronald Knox, T. S. Eliot, Evelyn Waugh, Edith Sitwell, C. S. Lewis and Alec Guinness, and also covers many of the lesser known and under appreciated poets, writers, and actors of the time. For some, the decision to convert took a few years, for others nearly a lifetime. Some came from positions of hardened atheism or agnosticism, others were disaffected or perfunctory Protestants. Some came to the Church as a result of suffering or loss, others from a cool and intellectual study of theology and history. Pearce quotes heavily in his book-perhaps too heavily-but there are several quotations from these brilliant people that made me think "Aha!" or "That's what I've been trying to say!" In particular, I was amazed to see the far-reaching influence of Belloc and Chesterton, two really magnificent thinkers who are hardly known today. All in all, I felt completely immersed in the thought and feeling of the time, so greatly influenced by fanatical political systems, gross inequality of wealth, two world wars and atomic bombs. The converts were reacting to a fatalistic determinism and materialism that seemed to be stealing the soul of humanity, as expressed in such poems as Eliot's "The Waste Land" and "The Hollow Men". For many people of the time, there seemed to be a choice between communism and fascism, or between communism and capitalism. As Belloc and Chesterton saw early on, such things were false dichotomies. The way of Faith, the return to a culture built on Christian foundations, is another choice, and the only one that can work to the benefit of all men.
Pearce is at his best here . . ........2003-02-07
Joseph Pearce has built a strong reputation by writing wonderful biographies of Catholic literary greats. His volumes on Chesterton and Belloc are particularly noteworthy. But in "Literary Converts" we are treated to an excellent survey of the large number of English literary greats who either converted from the Anglican Church to Catholicism, became Catholics after having no faith at all, or otherwise embraced Christianity in the first half of the twentieth century. Evelyn Waugh, G.K. Chesterton, Robert Hugh Benson, T.S. Eliot, Hillaire Belloc and many other colorful characters appear throughout the book.
Perhaps the best way to read Pearce is to begin with Literary Converts and then read his biographies on single subjects like Belloc, Chesterton, and Tolkien for more detail. Once you read one, I think you'll come back for more.
Fascinating portrait of the British literary giants.......2002-10-08
I picked it up over the weekend and was fascinated by Pierce's portrait of the 20th century Christian literary world. I could be very wrong, but I have trouble imagining any of the contemporary Christian writers interacting much with each other. But early in the 20th century, it seems things were much different. I never guessed that writers as diverse as Lewis, Sayers, Tolkien, Williams, Waugh, Chesterton, Greene, and Eliot would interact so much with each other. Just reading the correspondence between these literary giants is a joy.
Great book!.......2001-08-19
Intellectual and inspirational too. Packed with info on great authors I was unfamiliar with, like Fr. Knox. Now I want to get one of his books!

Book Description
At Cedar Mountain on August 9,1862, Stonewall Jackson exercised independent command of a campaign for the last time. Robert Krick untangles the myriad original accounts by participants on both sides of the battle to offer an illuminating portrait of the Confederate general commanding his troops under the extraordinary pressures of combat. From diaries, reminiscences, letters, and newspaper articles, Krick reconstructs a vivid and detailed account of the confrontation at Cedar Mountain and Jackson's victory there.

Jackosn's Close Call.......2006-12-27
The battle of Cedar Mountian was fought in early August, 1862. The battle took place just south of Culpeper, Virginia along present day highway 15. Cedar Mountain was a prelude to the battle of Second Manassas. Robert K. Krick has done an excellent job of bringing this battle to light. As in all of Krick's books, the research is outstanding and the story well told. This was not one of Jackson's best performances on the field of battle, and Krick does not gloss over the mistakes. Robert K. Krick knows his subject, and it shows up in his writing.
Last book on Cedar Mountain for a long long time.......2004-10-26
385 pages for a 5 1/2 hour battle tells you just about everything you need to know. Krick is very thorough in depicting the battle and is also forthright in warning the reader that he is sometimes delving into supposition and making logical conclusions from the facts at hand. His writing is reminiscent of Gordon Rhea as is his detail. Good maps. I am hard pressed to see how this added to Stonewall's reputation as Bank's men, far outnumbered, kept Jackson from interrupting the consolidation of Pope's Army of VA. This book should stand as the definitive work on the battle.
Excellent Account of a Largely Forgotten Battle.......2004-10-13
In my humble opinion, Krick has written an excellent account of a small-scale and largely forgotten but bloody battle. Compared to Gettysburg, Antietam, Chickamauga, Vicksburg, and a host of other larger Civil War battles, Cedar Mountain has been largely forgotten. Fortunately, Krick has taken the time to produce an excellent account of what Stonewall Jackson himself admitted was his finest battle.
Krick manages to weave accounts of combatants of both sides with vivid battle actions and excellent descriptions of various terrain features that figured prominently during the battle. The book also contains something several other Civil War studies lack - excellent and ample maps. The maps are of excellent quality and help the reader better understand the flow of battle.
I haven't visited the battlefield since the mid-1990s but plan to return in the near future. Krick's title will be an invaluable aid for better understanding the battle during my next visit.
Read and enjoy. Highly recommended!
Great Detail of one of Jackon's Desperate Fights.......2003-08-10
Jackson leaves his lethargic performance at the Seven-day's battles to go North to confront Pope and northwest of Richmond he runs into a former nemesis from the valley, Banks. Banks gives him great fits in a slug fest described in minute detail by his battlefield biographer Krick. The desperate battle shows Jackson's personal leadership as he is at the brink of failure when he impulsively rushes to the front to have his troops hold and counterattack. He heroically pulls his sword and leads by waving it to the front. Krick's descriptions are so detailed and accurate there is a bit of humor as Jackson, unable to pull his sword out of the scabbard, waves his sword with the scabbard still in place. This is a ferocious battle as a cannon shot decapitates the leader of the Stonewall Brigade, Winder. Ironically, A. P. Hill comes up and virtually helps save the day. The Union Commander, Banks, although not considered particularly competent, always gave Jackson an unusually hard time in battle such as an earlier defeat at Kernstown. This battle, although a victory for the Confederates, still leaves a bit of a shadow on Jackson, as he seemed ill prepared for battle and survived with assistance from Hill's legendary light division. This battle has everything including a virtual suicidal Union cavalry charge at the Union's final desperate attempt at victory.
The tactics of the battle cannot be better described by anyone other than Krick who was the Superintendent of the battlefields at and around Fredericksburg. A great researcher, Krick probably walked the entire battlefield. Comes with a number of helpful maps showing movements, which help the reader, follow the detailed battle movements.
One of the best Civil War books ever!.......2003-06-27
Over several decades I have read thousands of Civil War
books, and this is one of the best ever! It should be required reading for anyone researching and/or writing about any aspect of the Civil War. Mr. Krick's masterful study of the battle makes any further account superfluous; it has
the suspense and excitement of a novel. And, after all, why
bother with fiction when such superb historical books are
available? Excitement and education - what could be better?

Book Description
At times of global crisis, Jonathan Schell's writings have offered important alternatives to conventional thinking. Now, as conflict escalates around the world, Schell gives us an impassioned, provocative book that points the way out of the unparalleled devastation of the twentieth century toward another, more peaceful path. Tracing the expansion of violence to its culmination in nuclear stalemate, Schell uncovers a simultaneous but little-noted history of nonviolent action at every level of political life. His investigation ranges from the revolutions of America, France, and Russia, to the people's wars of China and Vietnam, to the great nonviolent events of modern times-including Gandhi's independence movement in India and the explosion of civic activity that brought about the surprising collapse of the Soviet Union. Suggesting foundations of an entirely new kind on which to construct an enduring peace, The Unconquerable World is a bold book of sweeping significance.

People Power Explained.......2007-01-24
This is a compelling book with well-supported arguments. "The Unconquerable World" explains why ventures such as the U.S. in Iraq are doomed to failure.
My favorite section is the one dealing with the collapse of the Soviet Union. Modern American myth has it that the U.S. was solely responsible for the "defeat" of the USSR - through Afghanistan, the insane weapons race, etc. While these surely had their contribution, Schell describes the rise of people's movements in Eastern Europe that, without actively intending to bring about the demise of their oppressor, did just that.
I highly recommend "The Unconquerable World" for anyone wishing to understand social and political change, and the very real possibilities of non-violence as a path for these changes.
Oh look, fantasy.......2006-06-01
An interesting fictional account of how 'the people' and their non-violent means can confront Bin Laden, Nazism and all the other threats. What does the pacifist say to the terrorist? "blow me up". What does the pacifist say to the Nazi? "Gas me". What does the Pacifist say to Stalin? "how can I help you?". It it were not for pacifism the world would be a safer place, however this book argues that opposite, citing examples of 'people power' where non-violent resistance was victorious. Lets go through those examples: Gandhi in 1948. The velvet revolution of 1989. So in the history of the world and some 25,000 years of human acheivement we can find two examples. SUrely non-violence works against governments that arn't willing to kill the people. But what about the terrorist, the nazi, the stalin. What should the Kurds have done against Saddam? Schnell argues that a 'bad war system' rules the world. THen the book argues that the 'bad' Bush administration is responsible for nuclear proliferation. This is interesting. Of the 10 nations in the world reputed to possess nuclear weapons it is America that is to blame? Despite the fact that Iran continues to build her bomb, and that the Pakistani scientist Khan went to Libya and Iran and North Korea to spread his gospel of 'nukes for small nations' lending advice and know-how, it is somehow America that threatens the world with nukes. Perhaps in a warped way the author is correct. Like all real pacifists this book argues for a 'passive' resistence to Hitler, which is to say that in 1941 nothing should have been done against Germany and therefore by 1945 Germany would have developed the bomb. So surely this would have been the more desireable scenario.
Pacifism is the greatest aid to mass-murder and genocide, it is collaborator with nazism and islamism, it is the collaborator with the death of humanity. As the famous saying goes "evil suceeds when good people do nothing." Pacifism is all about doing nothing in the face of murder. So there is no essential difference between the pacifism advocated here and the nazism it begets.

So bad it seems to have been written to discredit the peace movement.......2005-11-20
There have been a number of powerful arguments made over time against the horrors of war. This book is not among them. Schell presents a rambling, naive, and trite rant in prose form, absolutely lacking any sense of structure or logic.
The core failing of the book is that Schell doesn't seem to understand what war is *for*. Because this reality is not addressed, Schells is unable to develop alternative mechanisms that address the core reasons for war -- and concrete alternative mechanisms are what is necessary here, not truism and tautology.
War in humans is similar to war in other creatures, primates, social insects, etc. War has always been a means of weeding out weak groups, of redistributing resources amoung humanity, of driving evolution and adaptability. Unless we develop the economic tools to achieve redistribution without violence, violence will always be the natural and *reasonable* final solution of those who find themselve to be stronger, yet who have less resources than others.
Despite the NY Times quote on the cover, there is *no* cogent argument in the book. A specific example: Schell claims repeatedly in the book that "nonviolent movements in Eastern Europe and in Russia [...] brought down the Soviet Union". Sure, there were nonviolent protests at the very *end* of the Soviet Union, and some major incidents over the years, but it is widely believed by economists that the Soviet Union was bankrupted by a futile attempt to keep up with the United States in terms of the arms race. The USA could borrow money from the international capital markets to finance its cold war, the Soviet Union could not. America ended the war in massive long-term debt, the Soviet Union ended bankrupt. Yes, at the very end there were nonviolent protests, but these were a response to the fact that the Soviet Union was no longer able to function economically, not visa versa. Yes, some people in the Soviet Union protested, but rhetoric aside, it is clear that they protested because their standard of living was below that of the West, and they had been told that "democracy" would make them wealthier. If the people of the Soviet Union had enjoyed greater prosperity than the West, there would have been no protests. This seems obvious.
Another example. Schell repeatedly cites and praises the nonviolence recommended by Christ, the nonviolence of Ghandi, and the nonviolence of MLK. Schell seems utterly oblivious to the fact that in all these cases the nonviolence option was used simply because of the participant's lack of other options, in particular, military power. If the Jews had been kicking Roman posterior, they would have had no time for prophets of nonviolence. If the Indians were doing likewise versus the British we would never have heard of Ghandi. The same goes for MLK. In every case that Schell cites, nonviolence was forced upon the participants due to lack of other options: for example, the superpower "nonviolent" stalemate during the cold war. Nonviolence, then, became the most efficient option for the protagonists... not the most "moral" or "righteous".
What Schell fails to recognize is that humans desperately want to redistribute resources. It is one of the most basic and powerful drives we see in humanity. We will use whatever tools are most efficient for the task at hand, and in many cases the tool has been war. In other cases the most efficient tool has been nonviolent protest. In other cases the tool has been capitalism -- or communism. But to eliminate war, we must recognize that war has always had a legitimate purpose in the development of Man, and from there, we must strive to create more efficient options -- not merely blithely state that "violence [is] always a mark of human failure and a bringer of sorrow" and assume that any option developed will be preferable.
Not good.
A Truly Original Thinker.......2005-10-06
Schell spells it out: Nonviolent action wins. The paranoid dreams which have created the neocon movement are debunked here. The bunker mentality is a mental illness, and these poor folk need our therapy and love, not our anger. We have some serious challenges coming, not the least being Peak Oil, but this original analysis of the horrifying events of the twentieth century (the war system and the decline of participatory democracy in America) lowered a lot of my anxieties. It doesn't hurt that all of the (sometimes iconoclastic) historical figures he name-checked have always been favorites of mine.
Peoples war.......2005-08-01
Vietnam. Vietnam for the West was about Democracy verses Communism and failure too contain and defeat communism in Central and South America increased the desire for confrontation to South East Asia moving the battle of idealogy, too Viet Nam. The U.S had superior military technology and military might and won conclusively in this arena. The U.S war planes and bombers dominated the air and pulverized and burned the enemy on the ground. The usage of chemical agents and folliage destroying agents was comprehensive. Vietnam the third world war.
Clausewitz observed, "war must be immediate and decisive", the Viet nam was not immediate and decisive. The enemy did not stand in a battle formation and fight back. Instead, the enemy was fluid and elusive. The people's war was about Vietnamese self determinism, independance. The Viet Nam war became a beacon of hope for the people to free themselves from foreigner control and gain their own soverienty. Therefore, the Vietnamese people had become intolerant of foreign rule and noncooperative.
The Viet Cong acknowledge this intolerance and manipulated it; The Viet Cong blended with local communities disappearing in the group during attack and came out on withdrawal; the Viet Cong couldn't be destroyed completely because U.S politic interference, statisical controlled warfare, and containment idealogy; the Viet Cong had an endless supply of new recruits from the people; the Viet Cong mastered guerilla warfare and the weak became strong; the French colonization created an oppression that the Vietnamese increase their desire for independance; the Viet Cong learned how to influence and appeal too the people desire for self determination and independance; nuclear engagement was too powerful to use even in a limited theatre; U.S public approval dropped as the war was perceived too be immoral. The Tet Offensive demonstrated, a weak nation can defeat a strong nation, if the war becomes a political war; the Tet Offensive showed the Vietnames were self determined, could fight back, and resist.
The useless of war has another dimension, resistence. Most overturns of power are done nonviolently. Ghandi nonviolent resistence demonstrated that 300,000 million indians overthrow the British empire be going on strike. Ghandi attracted British, Muslim, and Hindu attention through his prolonged fasts. Infuenced by the Thoreau and Tolsty, Ghandi turned the external violence inward. Ghandi rhethoric was revolutionary and he protested the evils of British imperil rule. Indian independance was his goal and message. Nonviolent resistence. Cooperation is the message. Governments operate through the cooperation of its citizens, military, and politicians. The group cooperates too propagate their interests, ideals, and morals.
Dictatorships work only when the ruthless few slaughter passive many. Dictatorships fail when the active many resist. Control by mass murder does not work because justification of mass murder is morally wrong. Before the Chinese-Japanese war there were 44 million Chinese and by the time of the atomic bomb there were 25 million.
Dictatorship doctrine of mass murder advocates revolutions must be bloody. Population control does not work because independance and self determination destroy the idealogical foundation and influence of terror the dictator holds over the people.
Economics. The way the world works is always linked too market forces. The world runs because of economics. People want to be prosperous, safe, comfortable, own property, and engage in free trade. Governments can not control these forces, they can regulate them. Cooperation operates best when governments don't entangle themselves in other governments interests and free trade is allowed. Free trade force will drive prosperity. Government regulation of free trade inhibits the self interest of the group and reduces cooperation.
Terror. Population control does not work. Terror and the perspective of terror has been thought to be an effective deterrant by political power. For example, nuclear weapons has become too powerful. They can not be used. No country would rationally believe they could uses these weapons, usage would mean annihilation of that government. Weakness and humiliation drives countries to covet and acquire these weapons. Fascination with power and the appearance of power overshadow countries without nuclear capability. The world operates off military strength too achieve political strength. Terror has become the power too stop aggression. How real is that deterence, if the weapons can not be used. Terror only works as long as the mass believe in it, once they stop believing in terror innovation starts and self determinism prevails.
