Inhaltsangabe

During the turbulent reigns of Mary Queen of Scots and James VI, the Jesuists played a significant role in preserving Catholicism in the land of John Knox. This book examines the political and religious aims of the Society of Jesus at this time and, at a human level, tells the story of the small number of young Scots who joined one of the spiritual elites of the Catholic church and were revered or reviled by their countrymen.
