President Shuster of Hunter College, New York, knows Europe at
first hand and in happier days has visited most of the countries of
which he writes. He has relied on the reports of refugees from the
iron-curtain countries for much of his description of the state of
religion behind the iron curtain. Apparently, he has taken their
testimony at face value, forgetting that European refugees,
politically minded, all have their bias, and their reports have
therefore to be checked for accuracy with those of others of
differing points of view. Dr. Shuster is a Catholic, and, although
he gives some consideration to the Protestant and Eastern Orthodox
situation, for the most part "religion" to him means the Roman
Catholic religion. The cases of Cardinal Mind??enty in Hungary and
of Stepinac in Jugoslavia are given a treatment all out of
proportion to their importance, as has been the case in the
American press generally. In the case of Czechoslovakia, his
informants have apparently been Slovak Catholics, judging by his
whitewash of Hlinka and Tiso. But the general picture of oppression
of religious institutions in the communist countries is true to the
facts and it is well for Americans to have this description of
conditions in Russia, eastern Germany, Czechoslavakia Jugoslavia,
Poland, the Baltic States and Roumania. (Kirkus Reviews)
