It's rare for me to force myself to read anything that doesn't appeal to me and as a result there are significant gaps in my understanding of Catholic tradition and the issues surrounding V2. Can some of the more erudite posters here recommend, say, 10 books that would be sufficient to give a layman a thorough understanding of these matters? So far I've come up with:

The Three Ages of the Interior Life - Fr. Garrigou-Lagrange (Mystical theology)
Iota Unum - Romano Amerio (Doctrinal problems with VII)
The Jєωιѕн Revolutionary Spirit - E. Michael Jones (Jєωs)
The Plot Against the Church - Maurice Pinay (History of Jєωιѕн/Communist/Masonic subversion)

Leon de Poncins, Monsignor Cahill and Monsignor Dillon are good authors.

If Catholics want to understand what happened to Christendom and what is happening now, they need to understand who the powers are and what their agenda is.

Ah! you now get to the heart of the matter.

Denis Fahey - The Rulers of Russia

Denis Fahey - Money Manipulation and the Social Order

Denis Fahey - The Kingship of Christ and the Conversion of the Jєωιѕн Nation

First-class recommendations! I'm a big Poncins fan myself. Those who can read French as well as English have even a wider range of choice of his books available to them. Sometimes, too, even his translated books can be found cheap via BookFinder or (far more rarely) Amazon.

Apropos Amazon, it's sadly instructive to see how some highly esteemed secular studies of the Jєωιѕн impact upon and (negative) role in Western societies—I think especially of Cuddihy's Ordeal of Civility and McDonald's Culture of Critique—have been largely made the objects of the kind of surreptitious under-the-counter transaction once characteristic of openly smutty books, magazines, and photos (all of which are now sold without apology or shame). I sometimes picture these books, Poncins's, Fahey's, and many others—along with pirate videos of Disney's great Song of the South, of course—sitting on shelves once used for the collected works of Al Goldstein.

The Great Sacrilege by Father James Wathen.

The book I started out with was The Problems With the New Mass by  Rama P. Coomaraswamy.  That was in 1991.  Since then I have read most of those mentioned with the exception of the three written by Father Fahey .  However I have read The Mystical Body of Christ in the Modern World.  Another book by Father Wathen, Who Will Ascend is also very well written.

 It is really hard to pick 10 favorites because although the writers' styles are different, all these books are of wonderful additions to any traditional Catholic's home library.

I recently finished reading The ѕυιcιdє of Altering the Faith in the Liturgy by Father Paul Kramer and am currently reading The Work of Human Hands by Father Anthony Cekada.

Good point!

I still have to read Culture of Critique. Graham recommended that, too.

I'd like to see some French expert translate Poncins non-English stuff.
