The basis
of this book was a public slide and lecture show which enthralled the crowds
in the countries where it was presented. A common request was that
it be made available in book form. The basic material has been available
for a long time, but spread through many books in libraries around the
world, and not usually available at a normal town library. The older
books referred to are commonly over 100 years old and frequently out of
print. Some have have been on the index of forbidden reading, or
have even incurred the death-sentence for mere possession. 
These written works truthfully contained the facts of history before certain
recorded happenings were 'sanitised' to make them 'politically correct'.
A similar statement could be applied to some papers, documents and statistics
pertaining to modern history. Although available for the genuine
investigative enquirer, many are 'blacklisted' for general publication.
The substance
of this book is a thumbnail view of history in the Christian era especially
from the date of Henry VIII's accession to the English throne in 1509.
The consequences of Henry's actions eventually led to the separating of
Church and State. The Romish element countered with the inevitable conscience
was won for all, including Catholics when in a minority. It appears that
a modern man cannot, or will not, learn from history for there is an element
of religious bigots gaining power again in strategic places. It appears
they are determined to repeat, in the 'name of God', the mistakes of the
past.
