"Let those who doubt but read Rychlak, follow his exquisitely organized courtroom-like arguments. What Professor Rychlak brings to the forum are facts, not rhetoric; dates, not conjecture; evidence, not slander . . . The world owes Ronald Rychlak a debt for bringing the truth to light."
--Rabbi Eric A. Silver

"In his well-crafted pages . . . the portrait that emerges is one of an extraordinary pastor facing extremely vexing circumstances, of a holy man vying against an evil man, of a human being trying to save the lives of other human beings, of a light shining in the darkness."
--John Cardinal O'Connor (1920-2000), Archbishop of New York
from the Foreword to the first edition

"I have read many books on Pius XII, and this is by far the most dispassionate in laying out the context, relevant facts, accusations, and evidence pro and con. The book is highly engaging because it is filled with so many little-known facts. The research has been prodigious. Yet the presentation is as down-to-earth as it would have to be in a courtroom . . . This is a wonderfully realistic book."
