Keeper of the Keys: A Life of Pope Pius XII is a comprehensive biography of one of the most controversial popes in history, written by Thomas McDermott. The book explores the life of Pope Pius XII, who served as the head of the Catholic Church from 1939 to 1958. McDermott delves into the pope's early life, his education, his rise to power within the church, and his actions during World War II, which have been the subject of much debate and criticism. The author examines the pope's relationship with Nazi Germany, his role in the Holocaust, and his efforts to protect Jews and other persecuted groups during the war. McDermott also explores the pope's views on communism, his efforts to promote Catholicism around the world, and his legacy in the years following his death. The book offers a nuanced and balanced portrait of a complex figure in Catholic history, providing readers with a deeper understanding of the man and his times.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
