The book studies the use made by the British government of its
envoy, immured inside the Vatican from 1940 to 1944, and what the
envoy made of such opportunities during the Second World War to
help the Allied cause. We see the Vatican, the Fascist Italy, from
'inside', and so gain a new and rare perspective into the
predicament of the papacy. Owen Chadwick gives insight into the
workings of the Vatican, including such questions as the struggle
to keep Italy out of the war, the relations between the Vatican and
the Fascist government, the use which the British sought to make of
Vatican radio, the question of condemning atrocities, the bombing
of Rome, the fall of Fascism, the armistice between the Allies and
Italy, the German occupation of Rome, and the escape line for
British prisoners of war. The author has used several groups of
hitherto unexplored archives, and makes a fresh contribution both
to the history of the Second World War and to the modern history of
the papacy.
