Good book on history of the Church...recommendations?

[Sant Anselmo]

A Complete History of the Catholic Church to the Present Day – Fr. John Laux

I've seen traditional minded priests recommend this one.  It was written a long time ago, so "Present Day" needs to be taken with a grain of salt to be sure.




History of the Catholic Church - From the Apostolic Age to the Third Millennium - James Hitchcock

I don't know much at all about this one, but Ignatius Press puts out some decent stuff from time to time, so it might be worth looking into.
