Which war was being fought when C.S. Lewis wrote the book whose chapter shares a title with the band Wild Sweet Orange's 2008 album?
Mere Christianity Mere Christianity is a theological book by C. S. Lewis, adapted from a series of BBC radio talks made between 1941 and 1944, while Lewis was at Oxford during the Second World War. Considered a classic of Christian apologetics, the transcripts of the broadcasts originally appeared in print as three separate pamphlets: "The Case for Christianity" ("Broadcast Talks" in the UK) (1942), "Christian Behaviour" (1943), and "Beyond Personality" (1944). Lewis was invited to give the talks by the Rev. James Welch, the BBC Director of Religious Broadcasting, who had read his 1940 book, "The Problem of Pain".
Churchill, Hitler and the Unnecessary War Churchill, Hitler and the Unnecessary War: How Britain Lost Its Empire and the West Lost the World, is a book by Patrick J. Buchanan, published in May 2008. Buchanan argues that both world wars were unnecessary and that the British Empire's decision to fight in them was disastrous for the world. One of Buchanan's express purposes is to undermine what he describes as a "Churchill cult" in America's élite and so he focuses particularly how Winston Churchill helped Britain get into wars with Germany in 1914 and again in 1939.
