Information About

David Kertzer




He is the author of 10 books on various aspects of Italian society, especially 19th- and 20th-century history. One of those, '' Prisoner Of The Vatican '', is about the acrimonious relationship between the Holy See and the Newly Unified Kingdom Of Italy during the period from the overthrow of the Papal States in 1870 until the two adversaries settled their differences in the Lateran Treaty of 1929, establishing Vatican City as an independent state. Two of his books, ''The Kidnapping of Edgardo Mortara '', and '' The Popes Against The Jews '' treat relationships between Catholics and Jews in the 19th and 20th centuries.
