The entity : five centuries of secret Vatican espionage

For five centuries, the Vatican - the oldest organization in the world, maker of kings and shaper of history - has 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. This title tells the comprehensive tale of this sacred secret service.
