Description

In the brutal fight that has raged in recent years over the reputation of Pope Pius XII_leader of the Catholic Church during World War II; the Holocaust; and the early years of the Cold War the task of defending the Pope has fallen primarily to reviewers. These reviewers formulated a brilliant response to the attack on Pius; but their work was scattered in various newspapers; magazines; and scholarly journals_making it nearly impossible for the average reader to gauge the results. In The Pius War; Weekly Standard's Joseph Bottum has joined with Rabbi David G. Dalin to gather a representative and powerful sample of these reviews; deliberately chosen from a wide range of publications. Together with a team of professors; historians; and other experts; the reviewers conclusively investigate the claims attacking Pius XII. The Pius War; and a detailed annotated bibliography that follows; will prove to be a definitive tool for scholars and students_destined to become a major resource for anyone interested in questions of Catholicism; the Holocaust; and World War II.
