From the Catholic martyrs at Auschwitz to Oscar Romero; from Ita Ford
and her companions to the recent murders of Christians in India, it is
estimated that more than one million Christians died for their faith in
the "century of progress" we have just experienced. In The Catholic
Martyrs of the Twentieth Century, Robert Royal presents a wide-ranging
history of these martyrs. The book traces the specific situation of each
incident and studies the political system and the reason for
confrontation. Regions and topics include the Calvary of Romania, the
death of Edith Stein, Miguel Pro and the Mexican tragedy, Soviet Russia,
and China.
