The history of the city of Rome has been intertwined with the history of the Catholic Church and its head, the Pope, for more than two millennia. The rise of Christianity, the confrontation between Church and secular power in the Middle Ages, popes and anti-popes, the Reformation and Italian fascism - Rome and the Vatican have always been in the thick of it. Historian and Fellow of the Royal Historical Society of London, Jessica Wernberg presents the reader with the most comprehensive history of Rome, its popes, and its people, from the apostles Peter and Paul to Pope Francis. Drawing on numerous and varied sources, Wernberg traces the transformation of ecclesiastical power and its impact on the Eternal City. Political intrigue, personal stories, and an abiding love of Rome are closely intertwined, making this book a fascinating journey through European history.

Wernberg's political intrigue, personal histories, and an abiding love of Rome make reading this book a fascinating journey through European history.
