David Alvarez is a professor of politics at Saint Mary's College of California. He is the author of Secret Messages: Codebreaking and American Diplomacy, 1930-1945, also from Kansas, and coauthor, with Robert Graham, S.J., of Nothing Sacred: Nazi Espionage against the Vatican, 1939-1945.
A must read for anyone interested in the inside workings of the Vatican in modern times. J. MICHAEL PHAYER, AUTHOR OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH AND THE HOLOCAUST, 1930-1945 ""People have long contended that the Vatican possesses the world's best intelligence network. But is it so? Intelligence historian David Alvarez here probes this myth with impeccable scholarship, exceptional insight, and great literary vigor. An outstanding book."" DAVID KAHN, AUTHOR OF HITLER'S SPIES AND THE CODEBREAKERS ""In a grand tour of intrigue in and by the Vatican, David Alvarez quickly disabuses the reader of the notion that the Papal leadership and the Catholic hierarchy were focused solely on the spiritual world."" WARREN F. KIMBALL, AUTHOR OF FORGED IN WAR: ROOSEVELT, CHURCHILL, AND THE SECOND WORLD WAR
