'An experience, a vividly arresting, quite unforgettable happening' is Keith Winter's memory of Peter Howard at Oxford, where he enjoyed a career as a rugby international, poet and classical scholar at Wadham College. The phrase could also describe his later life as journalist, playwright and leader of the world-wide work of Moral Re-Armament. Reactions to him were seldom neutral. He was much loved by many and not a little hated by a few.

In fact, each forward step was a struggle. He was born with a deformed left leg, but ended up captain of England at rugby. He was discouraged from seeing Doris Metaxa, the French tennis star, but, a year later, they married. Seven years after, he had become one of London's most highly-paid political journalists, only to leave the Express newspapers to work unpaid for Moral Re-Armament.

In PETER HOWARD, Life and Letters, Anne Wolrige Gordon tells her father's story, the good and the bad, often in his own words. His journey from agnosticism to faith, and on to maturity, emerges naturally from his letters. Mrs. Wolrige Gordon has written about a man, not a movement, though much that may have puzzled people about Moral Re-Armament is clarified. It is a book which will challenge, disturb and bring hope.
