Review
5 of 5 people found the following review helpful. Politics ReligionBy G. HennessyI read this book purely to pick up historical facts about the holocaust in Hungary. I must say I learned a lot about the role of the churches and their influence; however indirect; on the course of wartime events. Parts of the book are easy reading while other sections require a bit of a slog to get through; but all in all it was worth it to me. My knowledge of events in Hungary has been added to quite effectively from a little known perspective. I gave it 3 stars because it is hard to digest in places. Information good; writing style fair only.
