Product Description
Review
"Mr. Williams has an amazing ability to compress vast amounts of material into brief, coherent passages. This is a quick, lucid read and actually enjoyable, despite the horrific nature of its topic. The wealth of information covered is quite astounding. How he made this comprehensible and light enough to digest is beyond me... This very informative volume should be praised for its concise nature. Put it on the top of your reading list... A must read for anyone who wished to understand the modern Catholic Church." --Reviewer's Bookwatch, The Midwest Book Review, November 2008
Product Description
Based on his years of experience as a consultant for the FBI, Williams produces explosive and never-before published evidence of the Church's morally questionable financial dealings with sinister organizations over seven decades through today. For both Catholics and non-Catholics, this troubling expose of corruption in one of the most revered religious institutions in the world will serve as a serious call for reform.

This is a very interesting book indeed, not at all sensationalist, but rather an authoritative, detailed and very well written account of the Vatican's lust for wealth and political power. Looking mainly at the twentieth century, it is a
treasure trove of facts and information, and constitutes a tremendous research tool for those concerned to challenge the Roman Pontiff's pretensions to represent Christ, for those with a more general curiosity about what really goes on behind the scenes at the Vatican, or for those pursuing a serious study of twentieth century politics. For whatever its worth, the author holds a doctorate in philosophy and a master's of divinity in church history, has taught religion and philosophy, has had a number of other books published, and was a consultant for the FBI. He writes with a refreshingly lucid, concise and very easily readable style. Highly recommended.

I found this book quite intriguing from start to finish. Williams does a really good job of outlining the politicking that goes on in the Vatican from the prewar period to the present. A must read for those interested in what goes on behind the closed doors of the Vatican.
I find it disturbing, it has received so few reviews in its decade-long life. It deserves much better than that.
Whereas Williams gives us a good outline, I found another book that goes into much greater depth. Aside from being a biography of a pope's revolutionary life and dealing with what happens when the politicking that goes on when a pope is elected turns to murder, Murder in the Vatican: The CIA and the Bolshevik Pontiff does the best overall job of proving the Vatican's role in World War II and the Holocaust--its proof: scores of surviving photos, many never before published. What's more, it explains how it is possible the Vatican Bank has been able to circumvent Italian and international banking controls in carrying on clandestine dealings from drug money laundering to funneling hundreds of millions to the Contras in the great Vatican bank scandal of 1979.
I would get both books to get free shipping.
