In this compact and informative book, Stuart Chessman tells the tale of the traditionalist movement in the United States of America, from its birth in the era of Triumph (1965-1975) to the mounting tensions with conservative Catholicism (1975-1985), to the dawning of hope in the Indult regime (1985-2007), leading into the broad daylight of Summorum Pontificum (2007-2021), and then descending into progressive darkness under Pope Francis (2013-), who has chosen total war with Traditionis Custodes. Throughout, the author judiciously attributes praise and blame, draws timely lessons, makes warnings and prognoses, and delivers a message of patient determination and well-founded hopes for the future.
