German Catholics and Hitler's Wars

A Study in Social Control

Gordon C. Zahn

“A classic study of Roman Catholic support of German military ventures during the Second World War . . . careful work such as this reminds us how vigorously and diligently Christians must work to do ‘things that make for peace.’ ” —Review and Expositor

“There is no better documentation of the hollowness and dangerousness of ‘just war,’ than this courageous book, which presents with clarity the threat to the whole body of Christianity.” —Cistercian Studies

“Zahn has lived and done his work in the light of a vision and with a fidelity that many of us find difficult to sustain.” —New Oxford Review

“A sober book written against the background of the most terrible war of all the ages and the destruction of a people unexampled in history.” —The Catholic Worker

GORDON C. ZAHN is professor emeritus at the University of Massachusetts, Boston, and former national director for the Center on Conscience and War.
