Fatal Star is a book by Hamish Fraser and published by Glasgow John S. Burns & Sons in 1954. In this book, he describes how and why he became a came a Communist and explains the reasons which ultimately led to his disillusionment. He describes the misers of the disillusioned in unforgettable terms, and his account of the events leading to his conversion to the Catholic Faith is more than a personal document: it is a revelation of what the author himself describes as ” the logistics of supernatural grace.” Fatal Star is dedicated to Our Lady of Fatima. Not without reason; for as Father A. A. Stephenson, S.J., says in his Preface, ” in the light of Fraser’s book the events of Fatima . . . . assume a new significance. The message of Fatima is seen to be no perquisite of cloistered piety, but to have an urgent relevancy for all who care for human life and for a Christian society.”First Edition.
