The Unknown Pope by John Pollard
Benedict XV is best-known for his efforts to bring an end to World War I. This biography, written using Vatican archives, correspondence and private papers, is a serious re-evaluation of Benedict XV.
"A serious and readable study of this regrettably overlooked 20th-century Pope" - Library Journal

"An interesting and informative biography of an important and unjustifiably obscure historical figure." - Booklist
