I cannot think of a single thing he would have changed nor does the story of Israel enter into them as far as can remember. (as I recall books read 50 years ago)

That’s the point. He wrote the books at the height of the war years with no knowledge as to post war issues including the atom bomb and Israel. You might be right he may not have written the trilogy any differently. Of course Israel never entered into the books, it didn’t become a nation officially until 1948. I was just wondering if he had been writing the books at the formation of the nation of Israel if whether or not he might have changed certain settings or situations in the book or whether he might have set the book more internationally in a UN type organization instead of having the elites of the world come to merry olde England to be “macrobe-ized”. It’s a very British

He never did much writings on eschatology in any way so he probably would have written the books as they we are now.(other than to elude to the Antichrist and the beast’s image in “That Hideous Strength” and as some have said wrote the trilogy as a supportive companion work to “The Abolition of man”...which was scarily prophetic).
