Opis

In the twentieth century, Catholics have been enthusiastic supporters of the dictatorships of Franco and Salazar, victims of Nazism in Germany, and advocates of Christian Democracy in post-war Europe. What unites these experiences? Focusing on the years between the end of the First World War and the Second Vatican Council in the 1960s, a group of expert historians tackle this issue on a country-by-country basis, investigating how Catholicism represented not only a religious, but also a major political and social force in European politics.

Recenzje

... an impressive group of essays ... Solid research on each country is amply displayed here by the wealth of notes to each chapter, and the reader benefits. These footnotes, alone, in Buchanan's and Conways's admirable book will keep this student occupied for a long time.
