Race With the Devil

Austin Ruse writes about one of my favorite authors Joseph Pearce and his new autobiography:

Race With the Devil: My Journey from Racial Hatred to Rational Love


Race With the Devil: My Journey from Racial Hatred to Rational Love


In Race with the Devil: My Journey from Racial Hatred to Rational Love, Pearce himself takes the reader through his journey from racist revolutionary to Christian, including:


  • The youthful influences that lead him to embrace the National Front and their racist platform
  • His dark, angry, exhilarating but ultimately empty days as a revolutionary on the front lines
  • His imprisonment and subsequent dark night of the soul
  • The role that Catholic luminaries such as G. K. Chesterton, Hilaire Belloc, and C. S. Lewis played in his conversion from racist radical to joyful Christian
  • And his eventual reception in the Catholic Church
