🔺 This is a book review with sample excerpt, which I take the time to narrate for you, because I both think it’s important and I want to hear what my subscribers think about Merton’s dialectic against war, written during the Vietnam War.  
    Merton, like Malcom X, like King, was very likely assassinated for morally opposing the Vietnam War! 
    Merton was one of the deepest thinkers of the 20th Century!  Tell me if you think this excerpt lives up to that estimation!. 
    Thank you very much! 
   🔸Correction:  This book was written I think in 1965 and before, and is not a New Directions paperback, but an Image book.
