Title: Re-creating Fordham
Review: Ray Schroth has done a superb job bringing to life the history of one of the country's major institutions of Catholic/Jesuit education. His colorful prose not only captures the evolution of Fordham, but also places Fordham's history in the context of the nation's different eras. While some of his facts are questionable or inaccurate, especially pertaining to the turbulent years of the sixties and seventies, he still manages to give a good sense of Fordham's struggles and accomplishments. You need not have attended Fordham (as I did from 1966-1970) to appreciate the value of this memoir. This book is so good that I was even able to disregard its erroneous depiction of my role during those years.--Bill Arnone
