An expert introduction, but many developments since
By A Customer on July 17, 2003
Format: Hardcover
Cornwell's details of the Calvi-Vatican worldwide fraud come from a financial reporter who understands banking and stock manipulation games - and the Vatican Bank, known by its cover name, The Religious Works Institute, was at the core of the operations, secretly controlling the shell companies and even Calvi's giant bank. The Vatican silenced the angry creditors by hush money payments and costs of over half a billion dollars, while harboring the bank's archbishop and his two aides from criminal arrest warrants for seven years. Only Calvi's death removed his personal testimony from demolishing the Vatican strategy. His family said Calvi was going to "name names."

great reading
By Happy Customer on July 17, 2013
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
A must read to make you question what you think of the Catholic Church. Nothing negative just informative. A business like being shown.

I have not finished the book yet but what I ...
By Stefani Fascio on September 24, 2014
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
I have not finished the book yet but what I have read has been fascinating-and not a little be eerie. I moved to London as a college student shortly after Roberto Calvi's death and this book fills in a lot of the blanks.

Big disappointment.
By Luc REYNAERT on September 10, 2002
Format: Hardcover
The story of the bankruptcy of the Italian Banco Ambrosiano.
The bank lost about $ 1300 million by buying back its own shares to prop up the share price.
This book is a big disappointment. It even doesn't take a position on the death of Calvi : murder or suicide?
A better book about the same period: David Yallop's 'In God's Name', but that is a big speculation.
