Kevin P. Spicer, C.S.C., is the James J. Kenneally Distinguished Professor of History at Stonehill College.
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*
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*
Deeply researched and deeply disturbing. Spicer's treatment of
"Hitler's priests" is absolutely convincing.
*The Washington Post*
