John Wingate’s non-fiction output consists of two books that move well beyond his established territory of naval warfare. The Pulpit of the American Revolution (2009) examines the role of clergy and public oratory during the founding of the United States. Souls Speak (2019) takes a spiritual direction, exploring questions of consciousness and the afterlife.
These later publications stand apart from the submarine thrillers and war novels that defined most of Wingate’s career. They suggest an author whose curiosity extended past the military world, even if the sea remained his primary subject for decades.
Readers coming to Wingate through his fiction may find these books surprising, but they round out the picture of a writer with wide-ranging interests.
