Book Review:
The official history of the worldwide post-war activities of The Salvation Army. In the aftermath of the Second World War, The Salvation Army faced problems – and opportunities – on a hitherto unimaginable scale. General Coutts details the task that faced the Army, how it adapted to changing circumstances, and above all how its worldwide activities expanded. From its foundation in London's East End, the Army truly became a worldwide force, celebrating its centenary in 1965 (when the author was the eighth General). With wealth of human interest and historical detail, this is an inspiring and heartening record. Essential reading for Salvationists and students of Christian social history.
