The book chronicles the rise of Moral Re-Armament (MRA) — the global evangelical crusade founded by the enigmatic American evangelist Frank Buchman — and dissects with forensic precision how a message of personal spiritual renewal became a vehicle for ideological influence at the highest levels of international politics. Driberg, himself a seasoned journalist and Labour MP, brings an insider's shrewdness to bear on the organisation's methods, its secretive culture, and its remarkable reach into the corridors of Western power during the Cold War era.\n\nWritten with the sharp, sardonic wit of a veteran political observer, the work argues that beneath MRA's veneer of wholesome moral uplift lay a deeply conservative and at times authoritarian worldview, one that attracted both fervent devotees and fierce critics in equal measure. Driberg's style is incisive and unsparing — he neither dismisses Buchman's followers as simple dupes nor absolves the movement's leadership of its more troubling ambitions. Published by the distinguished London house Secker \u0026amp; Warburg, this study remains an indispensable document for anyone seeking to understand the intersection of religion, propaganda, and Cold War politics — and leaves the reader asking just how much of the mystery Driberg himself chose to leave unsolved.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49216214204635,"sku":"2026200013228-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/42b8c5cd-4cf8-4693-bc5d-8aba1efe0d97.png?v=1788405492","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200013228-secondhand-the-mystery-of-moral-re-armament-a-study-of-frank-buchman-and-his-movement","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
