Stanford, CA: Stanford University Press, 1960. Hardcover. xiii, 229p., hardbound first edition in 9x5.5 inch grey-blue cloth boards lettered in black; lacks the jacket but is in very good condition anyway. Perfectly sound, clean and unmarked.
From preface: "Naturally a work of this sort has problems of research and exposition. The Vatican is a closed world, in general, and there is no Vatican Confidential.. However, in the course of time facts do come out.. it is possible by putting together testimonies of one sort or another to form some idea of the Vatican in the 1930's.. (There are other gaps. The Fascist ministry archives.. are closed..)"
