Klappentext
Soldier of Christ reveals a paradoxical figure: a prophetic reformer of limited vision whose leadership stimulated the emergence of a global Catholicism while sowing doubt and dissension among some of the church s most faithful servants. The Cold War and Pius XII s manner of engaging with the modern world defined his pontificate, Ventresca argues.
