Ordeal in Camp. Blake's origin was murky enough for any spy. Born in Holland, his father was Egyptian, his mother Dutch. Later she divorced, married an Englishman named Blake, which provided the young son with the proper credentials when he was busy fighting the Nazis as a member of the wartime underground. It was then that he was first recruited by British Intelligence to serve as an agent, later escaping to England...

Although the Reverend Kenneth F. W. Prior calls his preaching evangelism, the quiet religious spirit of this witty Englishman is far removed from the frantic dogmatism of Bible Belt fundamentalism. Visiting for a week under the auspices of the Harvard Christian Fellowship, he is not trying to gain 'converts' but rather to stir apathetic students to inquire into their religious-or atheistic-beliefs. He feels American and British "come from the same stock and tend to be slow-moving," and thinks they need prodding...
