Occasionally an accident of research produces a book more engaging than the one the historian originally intended. While sifting through material for his Ph.D. dissertation; which dealt with an entirely different topic; Eisen came across a diary from the Vilna ghetto written by Zelig Kalmanovitch. His tone was sober; but not entirely so. The passage that caught Eisen's eye concerned a playground erected around 1942 and the author's inner conflict surrounded the coexistence of games and sports and mass murder in the ghetto.

I learn from each of his books and share them with others. The Compact History of the Catholic Church is one of his best. He presents the Church's history is an easy-to-understand way. Still; slow reading is needed to grasp the connections of dates and persons. Dr. Schreck helps the reader with those connections by his concise writing. Volumes have been written on the history of the Catholic Church. Dr. Schreck does wonders in making it understandable.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. An Easy To Understand Book !!By RJVery well written by Dr. Schreck! I bought this same book some years ago when it first came out. I really like the updates in it. I think it is very comprehensive and you really have to read it slowly to try to come to a profitable understanding but is laid out in very easy to understand form. I recommend it highly!!!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. SuperBy JohnLove the book so far...its what I was looking for!
