Disarmament of Hatred

GEARÓID BARRY is a College Lecturer in Modern European History at NUI Galway, Ireland. He has published several articles on France and the Ruhr crisis of 1923, the militarization of youth and the papacy and Christian Democracy. His current project looks at pacifism in Europe and America in transnational perspective.

'Gearoid Barry's highly engaging biography of Sangnier looks beyond the abysmal 12-year span of the Third Reich. He demonstrates convincingly that post-Second-World-War Christian Democracy owed much to the efforts of Sangnier and his contemporaries stress[ing]the transnational as well as the national nature of his subject. Gearoid Barry is to be congratulated for his insightful and original analysis of people and events central to the creation of contemporary Europe.'- Conan Fischer, European History Quarterly, 45 (1)
