Review
Praise for John Cornwell’s Hitler’s Pope:
“[Hitler’s Pope] redefines the entire history of the 20th century.”
—Tad Szluc, Washington Post
“As Cornwell brilliantly demonstrates, Pius XII brought the authoritarianism and the centralization of his predecessors to their most extreme stage.”
—Saul Friedlander, Los Angeles Times
“Explosive… [Cornwell] makes a case in Hitler’s Pope that is very difficult to refute.”
—New York Times Book Review
“Devastating…instead of a portrait of a man worthy of sainthood, Cornwell lays out the story of a narcissistic, power-hungry manipulator.” —James Carroll, Atlantic Monthly
“A book that cannot, and should not, be ignored.”
—The Reverend John F. Morley, Commonweal
“Scathing.”
—Time
“If anything, given the hideous consequences of the Holocaust and the culpability of millions of people who did not fight against it, Cornwell is circumscribed and methodical…. Read this book.”
—Michael Pakenham, Baltimore Sun
Praise for John Cornwell’s Breaking Faith:
“A provocative, deeply personal, and intelligent book.”
—Library Journal
“[Cornwell] knows the inner workings of the Vatican and the tensions dividing conservatives and liberals.”
—New York Times Book Review
“Vigorous … honest … compelling.”
—Rupert Shortt, Times Literary Supplement
--This text refers to the Kindle Edition edition.
