'Crux Ansata' is a fervent attack on the Roman Catholic Church and Pope Pius XII written by H. G. Wells at the height of the Second World War. Within it, Wells uses his position and popularity to bolster British morale, praising the English spirit whilst simultaneously condemning the "spreading octopus" of the Church and its "Shinto alliance." Contents include: 'Why Do We Not Bomb Rome?', 'The Development Of The Idea Of Christendom', 'The Essential Weakness Of Christendom', 'Heresies Are Experiments In Man's Unsatisfied Search For Truth', 'The City of God', 'The Church Salvages Learning', 'Charlemagne', 'Black Interlude', 'The Launching Of The Crusades By The Church', et cetera. Includes a specially commissioned new biography of the author.
