"This book is an important chapter in the history of religious liberty in America, a study of anti-Catholicism from the time of the first Puritan settlements up to its tremendous outbreak in the presidential campaign of 1928. It is the last outbreak to which the major portion of the book is devoted. Describing first the ideals of religious freedom held by the early colonists, the author discusses the first manifestations of the anti-Catholic movement, and threats extensively of the Native American and Know Nothing parties, the A. P. A., Ku Klux Klan and similar societies, dealing with all of these as a background for an understanding of the contemporary situation. The last half of the book, which deals with the 1928 campaign, is based upon an enormous mass of documents collected by the author during this outbreak of religious passion: an outbreak unparalleled in the violence of the language employed in denunciation of the Catholic Church, and unique in that bloodshed, riot and any form of physical violence were absent from it. Mr. Williams writes as a Catholic layman, an ardent believer in the principle of religious liberty and equally firm in his conviction that despite the 1928 outburst, the traditional American principles are still predominant. His aim in the book is not denunciation of one group or defense of another, but an attempt to understand and interpret a phenomenon which the majority of intelligent persons, regardless of faith, regard as inimical to American institutions and ideals and which may recur at any time. His book is temperate, impartial in its presentation of fact, and should be of value and of interest to everyone concerned with the progress of religious liberty in the United States." --Publisher
