Perhaps the best-known contribution to the debate defending the Catholic position is Pierre Blet, SJ, Pie XII et la Seconde Guerre mondiale , Perrin, Paris, 1997 (English edn, Pius XII and the Second World War, According to the Archives of the Vatican , trans. by Johnson, Lawrence L., Gracewing, , Hereford, , 1999) which, while clearly concerned to combat the ‘black legend’ of Pius XII, was, in any case, inevitably written from a Vaticanological perspective: Blet was one of a team of Jesuits engaged in the compilation of Actes et documents du Saint-Siège relatifs à la Seconde Guerre Mondiale , eds Blet, Pierre, Graham, Robert, Martini, Angelo and Schneider, Burckhardt, 12 vols, Libreria Editrice Vaticana, Rome, 1965–82.Google Scholar
