Battle for Rome The Germans, the Allies, the Partisans, and the Pope, September 1943-June 1944

"Gripping....Katz...skillfully weaves into his narrative the experiences of a large, fascinating cast of characters--ordinary Roman citizens, informants, craven opportunists, spies and double agents, and some Germans who risked death in an effort to save Rome's Jews....His book is a poignant, dramatic and definitive account of a tragic time, and it is likely to reopen the longstanding controversy over the role of the Vatican and Pope Pius XII during World War II.Katz, Robert is the author of 'Battle for Rome The Germans, the Allies, the Partisans, and the Pope, September 1943-June 1944' with ISBN 9780743216425 and ISBN 0743216423.
