It would make an excellent resource for a graduate history course on the subject of the Church's role in the European incursion in and domination of the North American continent. It is not light reading. I would suggest reading it in portions; according to the divisions provided by the author. Over all; the facts related in this book can be quite depressing; even if; and especially since they really took place; a point the author regularly relates.4 of 4 people found the following review helpful.

Well done work coming at the end of an impressive life of scholarship. Professor Starr will be missed on all levels.
