All but two of the essays here first appeared in newspapers and magazines, and although their subjects are wide-ranging, they all share an infusion of C. S. Lewis' characteristic sanity and persuasiveness.

In those essays written between 1940 and 1945, Lewis reflects on questions generated by the war: Democratic values, the need for updated chivalry, and the cynicism of the modern soldier. Other essays examine the threats to educational and spiritual fulfillment, the problems of literary censorship, and the very survival of humanity, as we know it.
