Publisher's Note
A history of the military guard that has witnessed every major Vatican event for half a millennium covers such topics as the Medici popes and the sack of Rome, the Napoleonic war, and the Nazi occupation of Rome.

Industry Reviews
"Now on the 500th anniversary of the creation of the Swiss Guards, Robert Royal...offers an illuminating history of how this tiny army came to protect the Holy Father and what role it has played in the church ever since....[S]ome passages are riveting, such as Mr. Royal's retelling of what it was like to watch the sack of Rome from inside the walls of Castel Sant' Angelo."
