'The introductory account of Mr. Brunton's pony-back journey up the mountainside has real charm. One of his most interesting chapters gives a practical-minded consideration to the probable future of Tibet.' New York TimesPaul Brunton was one of a very small number of his generation to travel in India and Tibet so extensively at a time when very few were doing so with such insight and discernment. His journalistic skills produced magnificent descriptions of the snowy peaks and high-desert landscapes of the Himalayan region; but it was the lessons he learned from the holy men he met on his journey that transformed him into one of the great interpreters of the East.In this magnificent spirituality classic; he explains that we all need 'oases of calm in a world of storm'; no matter what era we are living in; and that to retreat from our everyday lives for a while is not weakness but strength. By taking the trouble to discover the deep silence within us we will find the benefits of being linked to an 'infinite power; an infinite wisdom; an infinite goodness'. A Hermit In The Himalayas is a fascinating blend of travel writing and profound spiritual experience. As we accompany the author on his journey through the vast Himalayas ranges towards Mount Kailas in Tibet; he also shows us an even more remarkable - and timeless - inner path which will help us cope with the ups and downs of our contemporary world.

I have read many books on the WWII air war. There is much documented information in this book. It would be good for researching the history and individuals that flew the B17 in Europe. It does not read as a fluent history of the air war.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Very good book about what our troops endured in WW2By Robert RhoadsVery good book about what our troops endured in WW2. Recently lost a long time friend who was a waist gunner on a B-17 I'm MTO.
