Review title: Entertaining???
Product review: I was surprised by the sharp diversity of opinion regarding this work. I'd have to side with those who found this book dull and unreadable. One of the positive reviews called the book "entertaining". That is one word I would NOT use to describe Deak's writing. Certainly, the subject matter is interesting and a capable writer and thoughtful historian could write a stunning and exciting treatment. This is not it. This book was written before Deak became an apologist for Pope Pius in the recent controversy over his role in the Holocaust (see _Hitler's Pope_). Undoubtedly, the notoriety will bring people to his earlier works such as this one, but they will find no fire here.
