Constantine's Sword by James Carroll. A former Priests writes a mixture of history and self analysis on the general topic of the relationship of the Catholic Church and the Jewish religion, focusing on how the Church may have provided the foundation for the culmination that was the holocaust.

Carroll is critical of the Church, but is also a profoundly sincere Catholic, and it is this juxtaposition of contradictory feelings that makes the read - to me - interesting.

Read it a over a year ago and thought it was horrible. The only book I ever threw in the trash after reading it.

If you do a search on its reviews by academics and professional historians, it was heavily criticized for its approach, misinterpretations, and mischaracterizations. It is basically considered a joke by both secular and church historians.

Son of the Morning Star: Custer and The Little Bighorn

by Evan S. Connell. GREAT READ. Did I say GREAT!!! You really have no idea about the type of people who populated the old west until you read this myth buster. The thing is, the reality is far more interesting than the myth.
