Cecil Beaton’s second volume of diaries begins as World War II looms and finds him worrying that warfare “is specifically designed to show up [his] inadequacy in every possible capacity.” Such a concern is typical of a perfectionist like Beaton. However, subsequent entries prove his doubts were unfounded, as he travels the world as official photographer for the British Ministry of Information, and closer to home, photographing Winston Churchill and various members of the British royal family. More personally, he speculates on the chances of a German invasion and writes about how the war has affected the lives of society friends like Diana Cooper, Emerald Cunard, and Stephen Tennant.

“In the absence of telephone and telegram the art of letter writing is again practised. The war has made correspondents of us all.” 

--Cecil Beaton

Does not block RFID scanners
Does not block RFID scanners. I literally scan my badge into work every day through it. Other than that, they are nice wallets, but only last about 3 years before the leather starts crumbling off. This is the second one I have bought. 2 Stars because they only last about 3 years and does not block RFID scanning as advertised.

Nice Wallet
Size: One Size, Color: Black
This is a pretty nice wallet, although calling it 'minimalist' might be a stretch. With the availability of Apple Pay and others, and the decline of cash, there is no longer a need to carry all your credit cards and money in your pocket. There is also a trend to allow you to put a legal image of your Drivers License on your phone. So as a result, wallets are getting smaller and thinner. This wallet attempts to achieve that, but actually I could do without the cash pocket and also the completely unnecessary fold out flap for your drivers license. I thought this flap could just be slipped out of the wallet, but it's actually sewn into the top of the card seam. When I received the wallet, I carefully cut off the flap above the seam, along with a ridiculous number of sewn-in tags in multiple languages, and this worked out pretty well. I can carry this wallet in my front pocket fairly easily. So for the price, I am pretty satisfied. Prior to this I was using a card case with 4 slots which I may go back to at some point. I'd have to say that unlike this wallet, the card case is truly minimalist.
