"Morley continued to rumble, like a volcano soothed back into somnolence but not into deep sleep."
This extensive collection of notices, minutes, memoranda, correspondence, and commentary is the fifth volume in the BSI History series and the third to be wholly devoted to a portion of the 1940s, a decade so nice* they archived it thrice.
*Eventful.
