"The archival research is impressive, and the factual content excellent. By concentrating on the period of 1943 to 1950, Kent is able to give a more detailed and nuanced picture than more general accounts of Vatican policy. And by embracing the U.S. and western Europe in his compass, he has provided a more extensive and balanced analysis than other studies which fix exclusively or largely on the Vatican's post-World War II role in eastern Europe." Alan Cassels, Department of History, McMaster University "A significant contribution to our knowledge of the Vatican and its role in the post-war world. Kent's archival research is very impressive as is his grasp of the intricacies of Vatican diplomacy. He is well-informed about Roman Catholicism in a very wide range of national contexts, and his grasp of the political issues in the major European countries is solid - in itself no mean accomplishment." Bill Irvine, Department of History, York University
