Hensley Henson (1863 – 1947) was an Anglican priest, scholar and controversialist, who served as Bishop of Durham for nearly 20 years. He was involved in many debates within Anglicanism and on national issues. He spoke out forcefully against Nazi aggression, supporting the war and writing, "there can be no compromise or patched up peace". After his retirement as Bishop of Durham in 1939, Winston Churchill persuaded Henson to resume his old duties as a Canon of Westminster Abbey, but poor eyesight meant he retired fully in 1941. From then on he spent his time writing his autobiography in three parts. This volume covers the later years, during the Second World War, ending in 1946, the year before he died. Published by Oxford University Press, 1950  Good condition. Binding intact. No dust jacket. The frontispiece is a photograph of the author and 7 photographs.
