Editorials

John Cardinal O'connor

I can encourage a reading of this book as a brief refresher course in what the bishops intended by the pastoral, and a salutary warning that their intention is commonly thwarted.

Journal Of Civil Defense

...this insightful book demands the respect and attention of all readers interested in issues of war and peace.
