In 1999, John Cornwell excoriated Pope Pius II as "Hitler's Pope." In this book, Rabbi David G. Dalin provides a ringing defense of the wartime pontiff, arguing that Holocaust-era Jews justly regarded Pius as their protector, not their tormentor.

Written by a Jewish rabbi, this non-fiction book recounts the efforts made by the Pope during WWII to save Jews and counter the Nazi machine in Europe.
