Summary: An important contribution to understanding the kulturkampf
Comment: The original kulturkampf pitted Roman Catholicism against Protestant Europe and resulted in numerous Christian martyrs on both sides.

The present kulturkampf is between believers and unbelivers. Krol made important contribution to the cuase of Christianity and Western Civilization and Jones does a good job of retelling it.

Summary: Panoramic Study of the Sixties
Comment: How did the Quakers (intentionally or not) and the major foundations (quite intentionally) create a disrupted Catholic church in the 1960s? Dr. Jones uses his significant research ability and powerful writing skills to craft a very convincing argument. Rich foundations, working under a 501(c)(3) cloak, funded research into an "aesthetically acceptable" contraceptive to market to Catholics. This issued in the estrogen-progesterone pill, which was shilled by a Catholic physician, John Rock. At the same time, Fr. Hesburgh and other academics, hungering for the foundations' research money, set up Notre Dame and other universities as centers of dissent from traditional Christian (not just Catholic) teaching on artificial contraception.

The description of the destruction of Philadelphia's inner city by block-busting, intentionally engineered by East-coast liberals, is worth the price of the book.

Summary: What Really Happened in the 60s?
Comment: How did Charles Curran disrupt Catholic U? Why was block busting so effective in our inner cities? Why do we have so many gross movies? What ever happened to the Legion of Decency? How did we change from a nation under God to one where the only thing that government can't promote is religion? Where did the Supreme Court get its ideas? Where was the Catholic Church during the culture battles of the '60s? E. Michael Jones, the editor of Culture Wars magazine, went into archives of the Philadelphia archdiocese, focused on the role that John Cardinal Krol played in many of those battles, and based largely on primary sources, comes up with insightful answers to show how the revolution of the '60s transformed this country.
