Publisher Description: Although the College of Cardinals is the most prestigious and venerable body at the heart of the Catholic Church, no consolidated work on its members had appeared in well over 150 years. This volume finally presents an authoritative roll of the college and of the coats-of arms used by the members of the College, and will therefore be warmly welcomed. Includes 8 pages of colour illustrations, with hundreds of line drawings throughout. MICHAEL MCCARTHY was a recognised expert in the field of ecclesiastical heraldry. |
Contributor Bio(s): McCarthy, Michael: - Michael J. McCarthy graduated from LeMoyne College in 1969 with a BA in history and obtained his Masters in American history two years later. He pursued a career in government and received MPA degrees in public finance from the University at Albany, and in public management from the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University. During his long career with New York state, however, he never lost his love of Civil War history. As he approached retirement, Mike returned to school and received his Ph.D. in American history from the University at Albany in 2010. Confederate Waterloo is a revised and updated version of his dissertation. |
