The Vatican's silence in the face of Nazi atrocities remains one of
the great controversies of our time. History has accused wartime
pontiff Pius the Twelfth of complicity in the Holocaust and dubbed
him Hitler's Pope." But a key part of the story has remained
untold.Pope Pius in fact ran the world's largest church, smallest
state, and oldest spy service. Saintly but secretive, he sent
birthday cards to Hitler,while secretly plotting to kill him. He
skimmed from church charities to pay covert couriers, and
surreptitiously tape-recorded his meetings with top Nazis. Under
his leadership the Vatican spy ring actively plotted against the
Third Reich.Told with heart-pounding suspense and drawing on secret
transcripts and unsealed files, Church of Spies throws open the
Vatican's doors to reveal some of the most astonishing events in
the history of the papacy. Riebling reveals here how the world's
greatest moral institution met the greatest moral crisis in
history.
