Recenzje

'Future historians beginning work on this subject would do well to consult The Battle for the Catholic Past as both an indispensable guide to the field's historiographical genealogy, and simultaneously an aid for discerning those topics and methodologies neglected by the post-war period's culture wars, and thus required to break new intellectual ground.' Thomas Brodie, European History Quarterly
