520    Great Catholics were crucial to America's founding, they 
       were downgraded by most historians who never spoke their 
       names. End of problem -- thanks to an independent 
       historian, Dan LeRoy, who gets right to the point. "The 
       primary goal of this book: to gather together, in one 
       place and for the first time, the significant 
       contributions of Catholics to the American Revolution." 
       The veteran writer-researcher does this in twelve chapters
       that flow like a screenplay and make his electrifying case
       : Catholics did something more remarkable than just 
       support the patriot cause they helped lead it. LeRoy 
       skillfully depicts the risks taken by each man, whom he 
       calls a "group of Catholics who were among the greatest 
       statesmen, thinkers, and military leaders of the day." He 
       also answers two fundamental questions unaddressed by 
       other historians: (1) What would the Revolution have been 
       like without these Catholics? and (2) Why did they do it? 
       Here, at last, is a full chronicle of the Founding that 
       does justice to the heroic "papists" whose lives were on 
       the line, alongside the descendants of Puritans and other 
       refugees. In some cases, George Washington himself knew 
       them, admired them, advanced their careers, and ultimately
       thanked them -- on behalf of a grateful nation. --
