| Plot Summary of Hitler's Pope: The Secret History of Pius XII |
|---|
"I am shocked and horrified by the deceitful character assassination currently in vogue against the person of Eugenio Pacelli, Pope Pius XII. This book is a classic example of such assassination. John Cornwell, by use of citations taken out of context, questionable research methods, and disingenuousness about his own bias on the subject has produced a work of sensationalism unworthy of a college term paper, much less a purported scholarly historical work."
David Zampino, Resident Scholar
