In March 1939, on the brink of World War II, a conclave of cardinals gathered in the Sistine Chapel to elect a new pope, Pius XII, whose figure is still controversial. Critics accuse him of collaborating with Hitler and Mussolini and failing to act during the Holocaust. The pope's defenders believe that his prudence saved many lives, and he himself is worthy of sainthood. Pulitzer Prize-winning historian and anthropologist David Kerzer's book is an attempt to answer the question of Pius XII's role during the war in an unbiased and reasoned manner. In it, the author utilized previously unpublished Vatican archives, only recently made public. This fascinating and reliable account of the Vatican's relationship with Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy, based on a careful analysis of historical documents, contains lessons that will be useful for today's world.
