The Myth of Hitler's Pope: How Pope Pius XII Rescued Jews from the Nazis (2005)
:"anti-papal polemics of ex-seminarians like Garry Wills and John Cornwell (author of Hitler's Pope), of ex-priests like James Carroll, and or other lapsed or angry liberal Catholics exploit the tragedy of the Jewish people during the Holocaust to foster their own political agenda of forcing changes on the Catholic Church today."

The Myth of Hitler's Pope: How Pope Pius XII Rescued Jews from the Nazis is a book written by American historian and Rabbi David G. Dalin and published in 2005 by Regnery Publishing.
Adolf Hitler | Pope John Paul II | Pope Benedict XVI | Pope | Hitler | Pope Paul VI | Alexander Pope | Pope Pius IX | Pope Pius XII | Pope Francis | Pope Leo XIII | Pope Pius XI | Pope John XXIII | Pope Innocent IV | Pope Pius VII | Pope Pius X | Pope John Paul I | Pope Alexander III | Pope Clement VII | Pope Urban VIII | Pope Clement V | Hitler Youth | Pope Pius VI | Pope Julius II | Pope Gregory VII | Pope Clement VIII | pope | Pope Sixtus V | Pope Alexander VI | Pope Benedict XIV |
So he has critically analysed “Hitler's Pope“ by John Cornwell and A Moral Reckoning by Daniel Goldhagen. Within Germany he has achieved recognition for his studies of the German “Basic Law” (Constitution) and the history of the Bundestag.
Rabbi David G. Dalin in The Myth of Hitler's Pope calls the book "meticulously researched and comprehensive" as well as "the definitive work by a Jewish scholar on the subject".
According to a New York Times book review by Christopher Duggan of Reading University, the book is well researched, though Zuccotti follows the anti-Pius XII tone of Hitler's Pope by John Cornwell, and builds a case for the Pope having been anti-Semitic at heart - a view which, according to Duggan, available evidence "does not warrant".
