"The Pope and Mussolini" is an excellent, if distressing, book that has been dismissed in these threads (by people who haven't even read it) as "anti-Catholic." It draws on exhaustive research, including previously unavailable material from the Vatican archives, by a respected historian, David I. Kertzer, the Paul Dupee, Jr. University Professor of Social Science, Professor of Anthropology, and Professor of Italian Studies at Brown University. This book won the Pulitzer Prize in 2014 for Biography or Autobiography.

Thank you for mentioning it.
