THE PUBLICATION of Bruce Duncan's Crusade or Conspiracy? Catholics and the Anti-Communist Struggle in Australia (UNSW Press, 2001) was an irresistible challenge to revisit arguments about Catholicism, communism and world order that I had with my father during my adolescence. For I grew up in a household that was not simply a Catholic one, but a National Civic Council (NCC) one. The last two decades Bruce Duncan writes about, 1942 to 1962, were the years of my father's Catholic education, at Xavier College, and then his political formation in The Movement. Reading Duncan's book, therefore, was an exercise in recovering family history and putting it into a deeper context.
