The Pope and the Duce: The International Impact of the Lateran Agreements

Several of my colleagues in the History Department of the University of New Brunswick, and particularly D. M. Young and T. W. Acheson, have read and commented on parts of the manuscript. I wish to thank both my colleagues and my students at the University of New Brunswick for their encouragement in this project, and also Sherry Woodman and Catherine Orchard who helped with typing the manuscript. Finally, I wish to record my gratitude to my in-laws, Doris and Worthy Preece, for their support, especially during our years in England and, of course, to my wife, Wendy, who has put up with all this and has read the manuscript.
