This is the first full critical biography of James M. Gillis, a contemporary of Fulton Sheen and one of the best-known American priests during and after World War II. Gillis was editor of The Catholic World, a syndicated columnist, and a nationally known speaker and preacher. A conservative who supported reform, Gillis spoke against moral laxity, greed, and the demise of the family; against the leviathan state and interventionist politics; and finally against Communism, deceptive government, and imperialism.
