While writing Eyeless in Gaza and Ends and Means, Huxley also composed the pacifist pamphlets What are you going to do about it? and An Encyclopedia of Pacifism. Huxley's "quietest recipe" for peace amidst such horror was hardly appreciated by his peers, and was fiercely answered by C. Day Lewis's We Are Not Going to Do Nothing and became "one of the ’30’s most persistently denigrated texts." Facing such a hostile response to his well-intended attempt to prevent a generation "from re-enacting the First War that was so vitally in their blood", Huxley's experiences no doubt lent themselves to his fiction.

—Anna Deters in Aldous Huxley Annual: A Journal of Twentieth-Century Thought and Beyond
