Another book about Thomas Merton? Yes, but a book by Jim Forest, himself a long-time peace activist and writer who had a close friendship with Merton. His book examines Merton's thinking on issues of war, peace and nonviolence, and his role in mentoring Forest and others. Forest details the background to Merton's trouble with restrictions on his writing imposed by his community's superiors, which I found enlightening and sympathetic to all sides. Forest quotes Merton extensively, including extracts from unpublished letters. I savored every page of this book! (
