Re jump starting podcast today with writing and completing a book, The Resistance, forthcoming imminently, a companion volume to my War in the Wasteland, so, yes, a CS Lewis thread that runs through the story as French Resistance tune into the BBC to listen for their coded messages from London, and hear snatches from "the voice of faith," CS Lewis broadcast talks:

“There is a clarity and inexorableness about [C. S. Lewis’s broadcast talks] which made me positively gasp!”

Eric Fenn, BBC Assistant Director of Religion, 1941

“My memories of the last war haunted my dreams for years. Military service includes the threat of every temporal evil: pain and death, which is what we fear from sickness; isolation from those we love, which is what we fear from exile; toil under arbitrary masters, which is what we fear from slavery; hunger, thirst, and exposure, which is what we fear from poverty. I’m not a pacifist. If it’s got to be it’s got to be. But the flesh is weak and selfish; I think death would be much better than to live through another war.”

C. S. Lewis, 1939
