The Great and Holy War: How World War I Became a Religious Crusade by Philip Jenkins

4.0

Jenkins offers a phenomenally thorough account of the Great War as a Holy War. I don't know how I missed all of these connections in my history class, but I suppose public school isn't the best place to get a religious/theological grounding for such an event. I'm amazed at the connections Jenkins makes and I'm thankful for his work.
