Summary
As science flourished in the years leading up to World War I, religion floundered. Thus, the warring countries were little prepared to deal with the grief and despair that arose from millions of deaths. Apparently, the spirit world took notice, and, while greatly limited in its ability to communicate with us, the spirits managed to get through to more open-minded mourners, providing comfort and solace. Messages, many of them very evidential, came from fallen warriors, through various mediums, telling their loved ones that they were still “alive” and still with them. This book is an anthology of their communication from the afterlife.
Praise for Dead Men Talking.
“Michael Tymn has become an acknowledged authority on afterlife communication. Here he reviews published accounts of messages from World War I casualties coming through credible mediums. This is an altogether upbeat, reassuring and enlightening book with many insights into discarnate existence from those ‘on the spot.’ The original texts are interspersed with informative commentary from the author.”

“We have reason to be grateful to Michael Tymn for his masterly presentations of evidence both for our survival after death, and also descriptions of the nature of the afterlife. I have been fascinated and moved by his abridgement of five books coming out of WW1 involving communication from soldiers killed in that war, in which they describe their experiences in their new state. I found it an inspiring and uplifting read. As an Episcopalian/Anglican clergyman, I long for the time when church congregations will read such books and have an informed faith in the realm of Spirit.”

“Michael Tymn has collected post-death sayings from soldiers killed in the First World War. They tell us through mediums how they died, what life on the Other Side is like, and how we should look at death. They want to be our teachers, and Tymn, one of the world’s foremost experts on afterlife communication, allows them to speak for themselves. The result is an eye-opening revelation of a world we are all about to enter.

“Michael Tymn has once again created powerful literary magic by spinning together a collection of related psychic/spiritual materials from five separate books into an edited synopsis form. Those books by various authors all relate to contact from deceased men of WWI, through well-known spiritual mediums of the day, to the families of the deceased. For the unrepentant skeptics, of course, this is all so much hogwash; but for those either interested or reasonably open-minded, we are given a brilliant summary of the case for survival of consciousness after death, as well as a concentrated description of life in the “hereafter” and of the very process of spirit communication itself. For the better-informed readers, this book brings together a share of a number of historically important books from the early years of modern Spiritualism, highly significant for their day, as well as for the present. Read, and be moved!”
