The wry and amusing second volume of the journals of royal biographer and Sunday Telegraph journalist Kenneth Rose, one of the most astute observers of the Establishment in 20th-century Britain
A Social History of Americans in World War II
Challenging the idealized view of the World War II generation, this book critiques the narrative popularized by Tom Brokaw's "The Greatest Generation." It explores the complexities and contradictions of this era, examining how myth-making has shaped public perception and historical memory. By deconstructing the glorified image of the generation, the author invites readers to reconsider the realities faced by those who lived through the war and its aftermath, offering a more nuanced understanding of their experiences and legacies.
Exploring the intersection of awakening and awareness, this collection of poems captures the essence of mystical illumination and purification found in disciplined meditation. Kenneth Rose employs direct language to convey the divine energy present in the world's spiritual traditions, using vivid imagery and rhythmic bursts of sound and silence to evoke profound revelations. The work invites readers to experience the transformative power of poetry as it bridges the mind-generated world and deeper consciousness.

Knowing the Real analytically and critically approaches two themes central to John Hick's thought: the cognitivity of religions and religious pluralism. Hick's early attempts to conceive that which can count as a verifying eschatological experience led him to call for a Copernican revolution in theology. In response to criticism that this call aroused, Hick developed a theory of religious pluralism, based on a reading of Kant, that he calls the pluralistic hypothesis.
