...spiritual leader, Pius XI sought to influence the private lives of Catholic U. S. citizens as to marriage, morals, women's dress, co-education (he was against it), sex education, birth control.

In his attempt to show all the intricate workings out of tactical campaigns the author seems to lose his grasp of the whole. He seems to view the conflict as a struggle between armies rather than peoples.
