Men Astutely Trained: A History of the Jesuits in the American Century

by Peter McDonough

The Jesuits have been the carriers of a culture borne along by a fruitful & often frustrating tension between their dual commitment to ancient virtues & to the pursuit of the free play of ideas. This book explains developments among the Jesuits and sets them in the larger context of the sea-changes that shook the world and the Catholic Church in the world during the mid-20th century.

Very interesting book. I have an interest in the Sociology of Religion, and this book has a lot of excellent detail.
