?Occasionally a book of significance unexpectedly arrives on the scene. Such is Au's work. Anyone who wishes to understand the contemporary debate within the American Catholic Church on the morality of nuclear war must go no further than this superb book.

Au lucidly presents the positions in this debate, grounding each in history and relating each to the wider context of Catholic thought. This is critical scholarship at its finest.?-Choice
