Introduction -- The Great War -- The poets 1914-1918 -- Jack and Warren Lewis during the Great War -- C.S. Lewis and the 1st Battalion, Somerset light infantry -- Jack and Spirits in bondage -- Robert von Ranke Graves (1895-1985): a brief biography -- Siegfried Loraine Sassoon (1886-1967): a brief biography -- Comparisons and conclusions -- Appendix 1 -- Appendix 2 -- Appendix 3.

Summary: This book presents a realistic and unromantic account of the early years of C.S. Lewis as revealed in 'Spirits in Bondage' and its surrounding events. It calls for a re-appraisal of Lewis himself, not as a 'soldier-poet' but as a young, ruthless and ambitious would-be academic, using others-his father, his university, his mistress-to further his own ends. It throws into stark relief his later conversion.
