Handbook of the National Catholic war Council (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781024158311)

This handbook provides a comprehensive overview of the activities and organization of the National Catholic War Council during World War I. Established to coordinate Catholic efforts in support of the war, the council played a crucial role in providing welfare services to soldiers and their families, promoting patriotic sentiment, and addressing social issues arising from the conflict.

The book details the council's structure, its various committees, and the scope of its work, including chapters on education, community organization, girls' welfare, recreation, and after-war activities. It serves as a valuable primary source for understanding the Catholic Church's engagement with American society during a time of national crisis, as well as a snapshot of the wide range of social concerns addressed by religious organizations in the early 20th century. "Handbook of the National Catholic War Council" offers insights into the intersection of faith, patriotism, and social service during a pivotal moment in American history.
