Pope Francis Among the Wolves

All Francis-watchers will want to—should—read Politi.

Politi certainly delivers on the subtitle's promise of a look inside the byzantine halls of the institutional Catholic Church.

Journalist and Vatican insider Politi draws upon a vast wealth of sources.... This book is well translated and accessible to a wide audience of Francis's admirers and opponents, both inside and outside of the Catholic Church.

Christiane Amanpour CNN, Chief international Correspondent:
Marco Politi is a writer for our times, with his insight, access, and wisdom about an intriguing pontiff. Few people can dig up the nuggets and jewels about such important papal matters, and what Politi knows and serves up to his readers cannot be missed. Pope Francis Among the Wolves is surely another of Politi's 'must-reads.'

John L. Allen Jr., associate editor of the Boston Globe and Crux:
Politi is one of the world's most accomplished Vatican observers, and in many ways Francis is the pope he has been waiting his whole life to cover. This is Politi at his tea-leaf-reading best, which is very, very good.

Jason Berry, author of Render Unto Rome: The Secret Life of Money in the Catholic Church:
Politi's coverage of Pope Francis, his internal opposition and vision for a changing church, belongs in every newsroom for the adroit treatment of how ferocious Vatican politics can be. This book will attract general readers, nuns, bishops, professors, students, cardinals, diplomats, politicians, and even their hatchetmen seeking insight on a pope who has captured the world's imagination

Santiago Zabala, ICREA/Pompeu Fabra University:
A profound analysis of the Argentinean pope given by one of the most important experts on the Vatican in the world.
