One Man Perched on a Rock
Dr. Warren Carroll, founder of Christendom College and author of numerous works of Catholic history, led a life of deep commitment to Catholic education. From his roots in South Berwick, Maine, where he was formed by the goodness of those around him, to his doctoral study at Columbia University, where he encountered the evil of relativism and denials of truth; from learning to wave signal flags at Camp Kokura, Japan, to analyzing communist propaganda at the CIA; from writing press releases for presidential candidate John Schmitz, to teaching history at the palace of El Escorial in Spain--Dr. Carroll's life took many twists and turns, before he set himself to the great work of founding and leading Christendom College. His life is chronicled here as it unfolded, proving the truth of one his own favorite sayings, "One man can make a difference."
The Cleaving of Christendom
This fourth of a projected six volumes is primarily concerned with the split in Christendom caused by the Protestant revolt caused by Martin Luther and his followers. It covers in detail the years between the emergence of Luther as a major figure and the beginning of the personal reign of Louis XIV in France in 1661, with separate discussions of the missionary efforts and accomplishments of the Church in America and the Orient during these years. It explores in depth how the great division of Christendom came about.
The Last Crusade
Why be satisfied with leftist propaganda on the Spanish Civil War? Carroll's treatment of the events of 1936 is singular in Anglo-American scholarship for seeing the conflict for what is truly was: a death struggle against the Christian faith and a war against Christian civilization in Europe. This outstanding work of scholarship illustrates the phenomenon of the traditionalist as revisionist: the distortions of decades of Marxist historiography are overturned in Carroll's narration of the bloody struggle to preserve Western civilization in the heart of 20th century Europe.
1917, Red Banners, White Mantle
A captivating account that narrates, month by month, the events of 1917. This is popular Catholic history at its finest. The drama of the Great War and the Russian Revolution are juxtaposed with the spiritual dimension of the Age: the diabolism of Rasputin, the Apparition of the Virgin at Fatima, the malignancy of Lenin, the saintly courage of (the now blessed) Charles of Austria. Few standard histories have ever given such a high degree of consideration to the supernatural and the Christian interpretation of history as 1917 does.
The Founding of Christendom
This series is the only comprehensive narration of Western history written from the orthodox Catholic perspective still in print. How would a historical narrative read if the author began with these first principles: Truth exists; the Incarnation happened? This series is essential reading for those who consider the West worth defending.
The Glory of Christendom
The third of a projected seven volumes, this book presents the glory of the High Middle Ages; the flowering of Christian civilization which produced Saints and heroes, Popes, kings and queens, philosophers and architects whose achievements glow like beacons across the centuries. This was the age of united and triumphant Christendom - the age of St. Bernard of Clairvaux, St. Francis of Assisi, St. Dominic, and St. Catherine of Siena; of St. Thomas Aquinas and the Gothic cathedrals; of the crusading kings Richard the Lion-Heart and St. Louis IX.
The Guillotine and the Cross
The persistent myths of the French Revolution--that the destruction of the old order brought unrivaled freedom and happiness for Europe--are shattered in this rousing study of the political violence and social turmoil that struck France in the late 18th century. In the midst of the terrors which unfettered Enlightenment ideology unleashed on the West, Christian hope arose anew to bring true light to one of history's darkest hours.
The Crisis of Christendom
This final volume on the history of Christendom is concerned with the crises of the modern era, the turning points in the diseases which plagued humanity during these two centuries. The book discusses in detail Nazi and Japanese militarism and its crisis in World War II, the damage caused by the inhuman system of communism and its fall in 1989, and the origins and consequences of the denial of the dignity of the human person in the modern culture of death. As did earlier volumes in this series, the book reflects an unabashedly Christian and Catholic view of history, taking as one of its major themes the centrality of the papacy to the destiny of the West. Carroll holds that God and individual men and women, not impersonal social and economic forces, make history.--
Our Lady of Guadalupe and the Conquest of Darkness
Standard histories on the Age of Colonization tell a sad story of the ills inflicted on indigenous peoples by exploitative Western powers. This book offers a realistic corrective. The Spanish conquest of the New World is shown vividly--in its fervor and exuberance, but most importantly, with its central evangelical and civilizing impulse that transformed the Americas from savagery into a central part of Christendom.
The Rise and Fall of the Communist Revolution
Suppression of the truth and the rise of propaganda. Refugees, killing squads, and gulags. Intentionally created chaos, destruction, famine, persecution -- and mass death. These are the dark fruits of communism. This masterful study of international communism reveals the whole mighty drama of global socialism and Marxism from its pre-Bolshevik origins through the establishment of a communist empire that dominated one- third of the world's population until the stunning defeat of the Soviet Union in 1991. In these cautionary pages, the Red Terror and its horrors are exposed -- through the words and actions of the revolutionaries themselves. It is juxtaposed with the prophetic messages of Our L...
