Product Overview
The International Bestseller
A true story that surpasses any novel by John le Carr.El Pas (Spain)
For five centuries, the Vaticanthe oldest organization in the world, maker of kings and shaper of historyhas used a secret spy service, called the Holy Alliance, or later, the Entity, to carry out its will. Forty popes have relied on it to carry out their policies. They have played a hitherto invisible role confronting de-Christianizations and schisms, revolutions and dictators, colonizations and expulsions, persecutions and attacks, civil wars and world wars, assassinations and kidnappings.
For the first time in English (following the bestselling Spanish and French editions), Eric Frattini tells the comprehensive tale of this sacred secret service. The Entity has been involved in the killings of monarchs, poisonings of diplomats, financing of South American dictators, protection of war criminals, laundering of Mafia money, manipulation of financial markets, provocation of bank failures, and financing of arms sales to combatants even as their wars were condemned, all in the name of God. The contradiction between Gods justice and Earths justice, Christian beliefs and Christian power all fall before the motto of the Entity: With the Cross and the Sword.
