The Pope at War: The Secret History of Pius XII Mussolini and Hitler
When Pope Pius XII died in 1958, his papers were sealed in the Vatican Secret Archives, leaving unanswered questions about what he knew and did during World War II. In 2020, the archives were finally opened. Based on thousands of never-before-seen documents, Brown University Professor Emeritus David Kertzer\u2019s book \u201cThe Pope at War\u201d paints a dramatic portrait of what the Pope did and did not do as war enveloped Rome and the continent, and as the Nazis began their systematic mass murder of Europe\u2019s Jews. Kertzer's earlier book, \u201cThe Pope and Mussolini: The Secret History of Pius XI and the Rise of Fascism in Europe,\u201d won the Pulitzer Prize.
