In "The Pope Who Would Be King," Pulitzer Prize-winning author David Kertzer explores the tumultuous period between 1846 and 1850, when Pope Pius IX experienced a drastic shift from popular acclaim to virtual imprisonment amid revolutionary fervor in Italy. This gripping account details the collapse of papal power during a time of upheaval that involved influential historical figures such as Louis Napoleon, Garibaldi, and Tocqueville, revealing the intricate interplay of politics and faith that shaped modern Europe. Kertzer’s narrative combines rich archival research with engaging storytelling, making it a compelling examination of a pivotal moment in European history.
