The Pope's Last Crusade
How an American Jesuit Helped Pope Pius XI's Campaign to Stop Hitler
Peter Eisner
A gripping and shocking story of conspiracy within the Vatican unfolds in this essential work. In 1938, Pope Pius XI enlisted an American Jesuit to write a papal encyclical publicly condemning Hitler and Mussolini. However, conservative members of the Vatican's inner circle secretly worked to suppress the document. This book, backed by recent evidence from Vatican archives, offers a compelling journey into the heart of the Vatican and sheds new light on one of modern history's most critical moments.
