Summary
Drawing on new archival research conducted in eight countries and in seven different languages, this book uncovers how the Vatican shaped the European international order after both world wars, via the novel use of international law, public diplomacy, and new media. Through careful attention to the entanglements of religion and politics, A Twentieth-Century Crusade traces the extraordinary story of how the Vatican moved from the margins to the center of European affairs after World War I.-- Provided by publisher.
