Catholic history in an interesting format

This is a wonderful book! It is the history of Catholism arranged by grouping the main "movers and shakers" who have influenced the character and events of the church down through the ages. It is very interesting reading; an overview, certainly, but with witty comentary and a really excellent bibliography for further study at the end of each chapter. It is worth having for the information on "where to find more information" alone! I recommend it highly for the neophyte or the scholar.
