SynopsisOnly two years after the Second Vatican Council concluded in 1965, Catholics around the world welcomed the publication of The Rhine Flows Into the Tiber, a history of the Council published worldwide in four languages. Widely hailed for its balanced, factual reporting, this eye-opening insider's account was written by Rev. Ralph M. Wiltgen, a priest and professional journalist who was an eyewitness with unparalleled access to the principal figures and events of the Council. The Inside Story of Vatican II is a revised, updated edition of that ground-breaking contemporary account, which details in particular the crucial influence on the Council's proceedings exerted by its German-speaking bishops. As Catholics continue to debate the meaning and impact of Vatican II, they will find this book an indispensable guide for understanding what actually took place there behind the scenes., The Inside Story of Vatican II is a revised, updated edition of that ground-breaking contemporary account, The Rhine Flows Into the Tiber , which details in particular the crucial influence on the Council's proceedings exerted by its German-speaking bishops.

Great book about what transpired at the Vatican II Council. Any serious Catholic wanting to understand the present liturgical mess in the Catolic Church would appreciate this book. It’s too bad that this book is not being published anymore, and I’m not surprised. It’s too enlightening.
