Review title: Very Disappointing
Product review: This is the fifth volume in Mr. Caroll's series on the history of Christendom; and I have read them all. It really saddens me to not recommend this book after enjoying the first three volumes, but I should have realized something was up when I was reading the fourth and began to wonder if I was reading an original text or just a collection of quotes. The unfortunate stroke suffered by Mr. Caroll apparently played a large part in the sudden downturn in the quality of his manuscripts. I would attribute no more than 25% of this book as original literature, with the remainder being extensive quotes from other authors and direct lifts (entire chapters) from his previous work, "The Guillotine and the Cross." As it is this final volume, which should have been the crowning achievement of Mr. Caroll's life long work, in no way serves as a viable history of Christendom during this period. I regret that it would have been better if it had gone unwritten.
