Recensione:

“Engaging and highly readable. . . . The events in Dogs of God may have taken place more than 500 years ago, but there are times when they seem chillingly, worryingly familiar.”–The Washington Post Book World“Thrilling, even cinematic. . . . Presents one relevant and ominous object lesson in showing a domino effect at work, the process by which one aggressive initiative led to another until people of God behaved like satanic beasts in God's name.”–The Washington Times“Engaging, richly detailed and well-researched. . . . An important book.”–The Albany Times-Union“Energetic... Reston brings alive the conflict between Catholic and Muslim and how the outcome still resonates today.”–USA Today
