(More customer reviews)Private Dowding is an engaging story of a soldier who dies in battle and who communicates his life-after-death experience to the author Wellesley Tudor Pole. First let me say that it is a good book containing many wonderful gems, but unfortunately the book isn't an authentic life and death story. You must understand Wellesley Tudor Pole's background; he was a spiritualist, or druid, along the lines of a Benjamin Crème type figure. He incorporates the Baha'i Faith into his story, a Messenger in the afterlife tells him about the founder of the Baha'i Faith and that it is a revelation of God. I have no problem with this, because I'm a Baha'i myself. The only problem is that Wellesley Tudor Pole was also a Baha'i in 1915 during the time he wrote the book; therefore he wrote the story under false pretenses. Years later the Guardian of the Baha'i Faith, Shoghi Effendi told Wellesley that his spiritualist-druid-like beliefs are incompatible with the Baha'i Faith, and shortly there after he left the Faith.
If you're looking for an authentic life-after-death account don't read this book, if on the other hand, you want to read an interesting book with many wonderful pearl's of wisdom in it, then I recommend you read it.

First published as long ago as 1917 this book was in the forefront of many invaluable records, since produced, purporting to describe the conditions of life after death.
