Acknowledgments

Finding a publisher for a book, let alone a politically incorrect book like this one, is a tricky task. Thanks to the large-mindedness of Kate Hartson at Hachette Book Group, I found one. I am grateful to her for enthusiastically supporting the presentation of a point of view that receives little coverage in the media. I also thank Matt Latimer and Keith Urbahn at the literary agency Javelin for their effective representation and advice.

While writing the book, I received research assistance or encouragement from the following people, to whom I owe thanks: Roger McCaffrey, Daniel Allott, Wladyslaw Pleszczynski, R. Emmett Tyrrell Jr., Scott Daily, Steve Tallman, Michele Diatta, James Bendell, Anne Braden, and Mary Neumayr.

Thanks also to my entire family, with special mention of my parents, John and Bridget Neumayr. It is through them that I received the Roman Catholic faith—the spark from which this book came and to which it is intended to pay truthful service.
