Descrizione A Bridge Across The Ocean
A significant contribution in an area that has not been fully analyzed. Castagna's thorough and insightful scholarship and engaging writing style make this work valuable for scholars, students, and those interest- ed in American Catholic history and church-state relations."--Catholic Historical Review "Castagna's excellently researched examination of the diplomatic archives of both the Vatican and the United States for this short period of twenty years provides a useful extension of comparative diplomatic history ... A useful and reliable addition to our knowledge of papal diplomacy in the interwar period."--Contemporary Church History Quarterly "Castagna unearths a wide range of previously undisclosed letters from the Secret Vatican Archive and other Italian and American archival collections that enrich historical understanding of this diplomatic history ... Fascinating anecdotes are sprinkled throughout the short book, and Castagna helps make sense of the awkward relationship between Washington and the Vatican."--The Journal of American History
