"Balanced, perceptive and informative introductory material and clarifying textual notes."

Book Description
Goronwy Rees (1909-1979), a Marxist intellectual turned cold warrior, claimed "writing books is the only thing I'm serious about." He resigned from the University College of Wales in 1957. This volume offers distinctive essays that describe vivid experiences in the author's life. "A Bundle of Sensations" describes Rees' wartime experiences and his intelligence work as well as his chapel childhood and a summer spent in Germany during the days of the Weimar republic. "A Chapter of Accidents" explores his complex relationship with Guy Burgess, which led to his acrimonious departure from his position as principal of the University of Wales, Aberyswyth. The book is rich with introductory matter, background, and notes, and includes "A Winter in Berlin," an evocative look at Berlin under Nazi rule in 1934.
