Description: In this highly acclaimed "inside view" of the Vatican and Fascist Italy, Owen Chadwick offers a new and rare perspective into the predicament of the papacy, the struggle to keep Italy out of the war, the question of condemning atrocities, the fall of Fascism, and the German occupation of Rome.
Review Quotes: "...Chadwick has done us all a great service by throwing so much more light on the constraints which conditioned Vatican behavior during the Second World War than any previous scholar." J.F. Pollard, The Times Higher Education Supplement
