When i bought the book i thought i was going to discover at least a big part of the huge and extraordinary jesuit history. I was wrong. The book lacks too many names, countries, and facts related to the jesuit order. The author emphasises too much on certain people and ignores jesuit saints , politicians, and kings under the jesuit influence. I would also say that the authors sources are very , very scarce.
To me this is an important record of history. Yet, although it mentions many popes it fails to mention John Paul I - the closest to the Jesuit tradition - particularly as to his acceptance of the equality of women, bastards, homosexuals and the poor in the Church.. Take a look-see at Lucien Gregoire's PAUPER WHO WOULD BE POPE for the record of John Paul I.
