032 - AA History with Dick B.: Part 5

03/02/07 Dick B. gets into the turbulent times that surrounded the formation of AA in the late thirties with tales of Nazis, communism, the Bible, the draft, Rockefeller, and the Salvation Army. He also lays out a fascinating seven point synopsis of the principles of Alcoholics Anonymous penned at that time by Dr. Bob and Bill Wilson, et al. Dick also draws connections between Bill's incorporation of AA, the evolution of the Big Book, and the omitting of the religious rituals used by other groups. (Please note that Dick has broken his lecture into 5 Parts. These parts do not correspond to our show titles.) DICK B. BOOKS.
