- Summary
- In the decade preceding the outbreak of World War II, the Vatican made a devil's bargain with fascist leaders. Anticipating that their regimes would eliminate a common enemy-- Marxist-Leninist communism-- two popes essentially collaborated with Hitler, Mussolini, Franco in Spain, and Pavelić in Croatia. The sheer weight of the evidence that Deschner has brought together in this book raises a host of questions about a powerful institution that continues to exercise political influence to this day.
