This volume provides an examination of how religion has shaped 20th-century Europe from the Great War until the modern-day War on Terror. Beginning with the post-World War I landscape in which religious belief was one way of reordering a world knocked off its axis, it is a critique of how religion has been camouflaged by politics.
