<br/><br/> "Fifteen years after World War II, the United States opened a small mission in the Vatican and the author Robert Illing, a non-Catholic and a career Foreign Service officer, served as the functioning charge d'affaires, He saw and came to understand the dual nature of the Vatican as a city-state political entity apart from its place as center of the Roman Catholic Church, and brings to the reader that insight as he functioned in the dynamic make-up of the American mission that was a curisity to some and a recognized place of importance to many" --Dust jacket flap.
