Weekly Standard Reviews The Pope Who Would Be King

On May 4th The Weekly Standard published a review of The Pope Who Would Be King. From the review: "Kertzer deftly sets the Roman scene and extracts a captivating narrative from the standard 1848 labyrinth of conspiracy, illusion, heroism, and ineptitiude. This is a book not only for Italophiles but for anyone interested in the way Europe backed into modernity." For the entire review, click here.
