Robert Runcie - the Reluctant Archbishop

London, Hodder and Stoughton. 1996. (ISBN: 0340571071). Hard Cover, 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. A near Fine unmarked copy (Fine apart from a small mark left by sticky label removal from front pastedown) with VG+ dustjacket which is not price clipped. x + 401 pages. 31 illustrations. Robert Runcie the 102nd Archbishop of Canterbury, invited Humphrey Carpenter to be his biographer in his closing months as Archbishop of Canterbury. It triggered a sequence of meetings over four years in which, playing Boswell to Runcie's Johnson, Carpenter reveals the man behind the office and, through many focuses, draws a picture of an archbishop grappling with eventful times for the relations of Church to state. Runcie's archbishopric saw the first visit of a Pope to British soil, the Falklands War, and his own peace envoy, Terry Waite, being taken hostage in Beirut. It saw him at odds with Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, and criticised by factions within the Anglican hierarchy. R2. Near Fine/Very Good.
