When you started reading these excerpts from Harry Leslie Smith’s Green And Pleasant Land the year was 1923 and now many chapters later it is 1938 and war looms close enough that astute people then could hear its heavy breath.
Near 80 years on and this echoes so many similarities. I look forward to being able to obtain the book, hopefully an e book version will be also available as I like to carry my bookcase around with me. All the best, Dominus
Excellent writing as always. Your father’s story speaks truth to the notion I’ve had for some time now, that all wars are the result of machinations of the Haves at the expense of the have-nots.

Thank you for sharing your father's story. He was a great writer.
