## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent book. Best single volume coverage of the Council.
*by W***R on January 3, 2015*

I have found no better single volume on Vatican II. Professor Matttei, in his recent history of the Council, presents a great deal of detail, and perspective on many more of the participants, but it is almost too much. It is also worth noting that the professor cites Fr. Wiltgen's work in many places in his own volume.Fr. Wiltgen presents a unique view of the proceedings, giving a real sense of presence at the Council, without burying the reader in excessive detail. He was there, after all, and published a journal for the bishops at the Council. Unlike several of the books published later, this is not a polemic, but a journal, and in the spirit of what journalism used to be: objective reporting of events.I have a copy of the original paperback, and am very happy now to have the revised volume on my Kindle, making it easy to reference when I am away from home.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ So that's what happened!
*by M***. on May 25, 2014*

This is another of the books that has long been on my "search" list, and has been out of print for some time. I'm grateful that it has now been reprinted, and is available to help Catholics understand the influence/direction that shaped Vatican II to a large extent. THaving read the Documents of Vatican II, (I learned more from the footnotes than from the text itself) and gained insight into thedirection, but was still left with the "Who, where, what, why and how" questions.So many questions answered! I highly recommend this for Catholics searching for answers after Vatican II.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Interesting first hand account
*by J***Y on October 30, 2015*

This is a must read for those interested in the council. It's an observation view with little spin. However, it does not adequate adequately address the problems with the council itself in the timebombs there in￼
