The opening of the Secret Vatican Archives on the records regarding Pius XII will shed light on the most controversial pontificate of the 20th century. Moreover, the recent rearrangement of the Vatican media provided the creation of a multimedia archive that is still in Fieri.\u003cbr\u003e This research is an original point of view on the most relevant questions concerning these decades: the relation of the Catholic Church with the Fascist regimes and Western democracies; the attitude toward anti-Semitism and the Shoah in Europe, and in general toward the total war; the relationship of the Holy See with the new media in the mass society; the questions arisen in the after-war period such as the Christian Democratic Party in Italy; the new role of women; and anti-communism and the competition for the consensus in the social and moral order in a secularized society.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eList of Abbreviation\u003c\/i\u003es   ix\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eIntroduction \u003c\/b\u003e  1\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e1 \u003c\/b\u003eThe Popes and the Media: The Origins of Vatican Radio (1931-1939)   9\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e2 \u003c\/b\u003eVatican Radio and the Outbreak of the War (1939-1940)   33\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e3 \u003c\/b\u003eVatican Radio, National Socialism, and Communism   68\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e4 \u003c\/b\u003eVatican Radio, Racism, Antisemitism, and the Shoah   110\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e5 \u003c\/b\u003eToward the Axis Defeat: Vatican Radio, the Occupation of Rome, and the End of the War   142\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eEpilogue\u003c\/b\u003e: The 1950s   177\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eAcknowledgments \u003c\/i\u003e  183\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eNotes \u003c\/i\u003e  185\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eIndex \u003c\/i\u003e  253\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Fordham University Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52735524405528,"sku":"9781531507145","price":74.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-popes-on-air-the-history-of-vatican-radio-from-its-origins-to-world-war-ii-hardback-9781531507145","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
