Description
Cardinal Archbishop Alojzije Stepinac led a complex and tumultuous life, navigating the treacherous landscape of war-torn Europe during World War II. This biography explores his role as the Catholic Church in Croatia, confronting authoritarian rule and the brutal realities of war. Through recently available sources, including Secret Police files, Robin Harris sheds light on the truth behind Stepinac's controversy-ridden life. The book delves into Stepinac's struggles to steer the right course during the Second World War, his imprisonment, and the Croatian Catholic resistance to Communist persecution. A full and objective assessment of Blessed Alojzije Stepinac can now be made, thanks to this comprehensive biography.
