An excellent history - Rated
With the secular media constantly denigrating the Catholic Church, Harry Crocker's "Triumph" provides a breath of fresh air. Spanning the Church's 2000-year history, the range is formidable and Crocker's ability to paint in miniature on an enormous canvas astonishing.

The style is lucid, and frequently witty. Most history books have their drier stretches, but this was a joy to read from cover to cover. Catholics who love their Church will similarly love this book; non-Catholics will find it fascinating to see the influence of the Catholic Church on world civilization.

My congratulations to Mr Crocker (a convert from Anglicanism) - this book is recommended reading, being as it is exhaustive but not exhausting, and a superb entertainment.

A Triumph - Rated
Harry Crocker's book is a wonderfully refreshing antidote for Catholics used to being on the defensive about their faith.

"Triumph" is a swashbuckling saga of the Catholic Church and the people who shaped it. It spans 2,000 years of history in a remarkably coherent and readable fashion. Forget fusty old historical tomes - this is how Maximus from "Gladiator" would write history. Red-blooded Catholics will love it!

The author makes no apologies for his openly pro-Catholic and pro-Western biases, and nor should he. That aside, "Triumph" is an immaculately researched account of the longest-lived and most influential organisation in the history of the Western world. Buy it today.
