Gallagher, J. P.
The Scarlet Pimpernel of the Vatican
Paperback
1969, Fontana, illustrated
Condition: ex-library with card pocket, stamps and spine label, otherwise good
To thousands of people escaping - Allied prisoners, refugees, Jews and others wanted for various reasons by the Nazis - one of the greatest heroes of the Second World War was a tall, jolly Irish priest, Monsignor Hugh Joseph O'Flaherty. Working throughout the war at the Vatican, he organized, unofficially, an incredibly efficient underground system which gave shelter to unnumerable escapers. This very readable account of his adventures is an exciting story and throws some interesting light on one of the lesser-known aspects of the war.
