This remarkable manuscript outlines the career of the prominent devil, Crumblewit (Order of the Sons of Darkness, 1st Class). It was in a much mutilated state. Nevertheless it presents a reasonably coherent narrative of the activities of a post-Screwtape generation of devils. It is not, of course, "true" in the sense of being an objective appraisal of the struggles between good and evil which dominated human affairs in the period from 1942 (when Screwtape's Letters were released to the world) to the present. The account is distorted by Crumblewit's truly diabolical conceit and capacity for self-delusion. However, it does shed fresh light on the ups and down experienced by the Church throughout this period. Crumblewit's energies were deployed in the religious arena. He was employed exclusively in undermining the attempts of Christians to carry out the mission entrusted to them by Jesus :
