This extraordinary little book is a startling, unique, and powerful presentation of the old, old problem of the continuous battle for the soul of man between the insidious forces of evil and the triumphant forces of good. The Toast is a follow-up written 17 years later to a different audience- American- a different time-Vietnam era. He tackles two things in this follow up to Screwtape–education and individualism–showing how the word “democracy” could be twisted to rob people of individuality, ingenuity, and spiritual strength. A clean very presentable copy.
