Publisher's Synopsis
In June 1938, John LaFarge, an unassuming American Jesuit priest and scholar, was summoned to a private audience with Pope Pius XI. Inspired by LaFarge's book, 'Interracial Justice', which argued that 'racialism and nationalism were fundamentally the same', the pope enlisted the priest to pen a papal encyclical - a declaration of the Catholic Church's official view - condemning Nazism and anti-Semitism. This book illuminates this religious leader's daring yet little known campaign to fight Hitler.
