Reviews

<p> Spicer keeps his rhetorical balance very well, managing to convey the thinking of his protagonists fairly yet also to be judgmental where appropriate. His research is impeccably thorough and unparalleled in the existing literature. --Peter Hayes, Northwestern University<p> Hitler's Priests will contribute to the much debated argument of the level of Catholic Church resistance, conformity, and accommodation to the Nazi regime. Spicer's use of archival materials is almost superhuman. Perhaps the most important element ... is the information that he has managed to unearth on these fairly unknown individual priests. --Beth A. Griech-Polelle, Bowling Green State University<p> Deeply researched and deeply disturbing. Spicer's treatment of Hitler's priests is absolutely convincing. -- The Washington Post
