Editorial Reviews

A contribution to "peace history," a newborn specialty still taking its first breaths. Examines the tolerance between Catholics and Protestants in a period when vicious sectarian strife was the rule of the day. Tolerance here means more than mere coexistence, but a daily interaction between people without regard for their faith. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
