Who says you can't fight fascism in a cassock? Wherever fascism has taken root, it has met with resistance, and here the author of A Field Guide to the English Clergy reveals that some men of the cloth (and a few nuns) were willing to roll up their sleeves and fight. From taking a bullet for a frightened schoolgirl in Alabama to saving Greek Jews from extermination by way of fake IDs, each of the 15 hard-drinking, chain-smoking clerics featured in this book risked their lives for what they believed.
