Excommunicated from the Union

How the Civil War Created a Separate Catholic America

By: William B. Kurtz

“Concise, engaging . . . [A] superb study of the US Catholic community in the Civil War era.” —Civil War Book Review Anti-Catholicism has had a long presence in American history. When the Civil War broke out in 1861, many Catholic Americans considered it a chance to prove their patriotism once and for all. Exploring how Catholics sought to use their participation in the war to counteract religious and political nativism in the United States, Excommunicated from the Union reveals that while the war was an alienating experience for many of the 200,000 Catholics who served, they still strove to construct a positive memory of their experiences—in order to show that their religion was no barrier to their being loyal American citizens. “[A] masterful interrogation of the fusion of faith, national crisis, and ethnic identity at a critical moment in American history. This is a notable and welcome contribution to Catholic, Civil War, and immigrant history.”? Journal of Southern History

Reversing the Course of a Nation in Conflict

By: William E. Strasburg,James P. Cooney

LONGING FOR A PERFECT PLACE Throughout the years people have wanted to live in a community where there were no problems. Books such as Plato's Republic and Sir Thomas More's Utopia are variations of the theme that people want to live in a perfect republic and enjoy an enduring high-quality life. This message assumes that we are indeed capable of building a better community. The importance of understanding that one person can make a difference is vital to the creation of an improved community. Authors Strasburg and Cooney provide a fascinating look at how a perfect community might function and how people can create their own Utopia.

Luck Was a Stranger

A Memoir

By: William Cooney

Who is Bill Cooney? Is he a poet, a madman, a former candidate for the priesthood, a son of one of the most prosperous and well-liked men in the tiny town of Kilbeggan, Ireland, an apple thief, a man spared three times from certain death, a gadfly, a fearless Saxon warrior, a student of medicine at Trinity College, a truck driver, a store clerk, an insurance inspector, a night watchman, a businessman, a writer of hundreds of unpublished puns, a husband, a father, a grandfather, an animal lover? Yes, and he's also the author of this memoir. Born into a prosperous Irish family, Bill Cooney had his life planned out for him before it even began. His mother told him he was destined for the priesthood. His father wanted him to be a doctor. But what he wanted most was to be free. He got out from under the controlling forces of his parents and the Church, to make his own way, leaving for the frontier land of Canada, a journey that took him from prosperity to poverty, and finally, to America, the promised land, where he found that dreams do come true, and nightmares as well.
