Are they available anywhere? I've looked more than once and can't find them.

Don't buy them! I bought and read the first volume, and after reading how Mr. Carroll explained the miracle of the parting of the Red Sea by Moses as merely a meteorological coincidence; I tossed the book in the trash! Why learn your history of the Church from a person affected by Modernism. If you want a good readable history of the Church, try the three volume set by Msgr. Phillip Hughes, "The History of the Catholic Church"; or if you want a shorter version, a one volume "Triumph" by H.W. Crocker.
"The World Must Conform to Our Lord and not He to it." Rev. Dennis Fahey CSSP

"My brothers, all of you, if you are condemned to see the triumph of evil, never applaud it. Never say to evil: you are good; to decadence: you are progess; to death: you are life. Sanctify yourselves in the times wherein God has placed you; bewail the evils and the disorders which God tolerates; oppose them with the energy of your works and your efforts, your life uncontaminated by error, free from being led astray, in such a way that having lived here below, united with the Spirit of the Lord, you will be admitted to be made but one with Him forever and ever: But he who is joined to the Lord is one in spirit." Cardinal Pie of Potiers

Yeah exactly. I read his book on Guadeloupe/Conquest of New Spain. He glazed over the conquistadors' pillaging, raping, and general immoral conduct. They weren't the glorious, perfectly Catholic missionaries he painted them. The book left a bad taste in my mouth.

It was a stark contrast to Bernal Diaz's book. Written of course, by an actual soldier who fought alongside Cortez. Harsh realities and uncompromising truth, it showed what really happened.

Calling Warren Caroll an historian is rich, imo.
All that is gold does not glitter, not all those who wander are lost.
