The Vatican Exposed: Money, Murder, and the Mafia - Hardcover

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

Looks at the political and financial history of Vatican City and the papacy, from the signing of the Lateran Treaty in 1929 to the present day.
