Two thumbs up

This is Williams at his best. There's no one who can assemble voluminous information and tie it together like he can. I was fortunate to get an advance copy of this book and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The format was terrific because it made it easy for the reader to follow. There is a list of people, "leading rogues" as the author calls them, a chronology as well as a list of abbreviations to which the reader can refer. It is also wrttten in short sections so you can pick it up and not have to wait until the end of the chapter to put it down. I won't kid you, though, this is a heady read with a lot of critical information to digest but it flowed very well. Two thumbs up.

Cicero, IL-born Paul Marcinkus, a central figure in Gerald Posner's "God's Bankers: A History of Money and Power at the Vatican" (Simon & Schuster, 752 pages, photographic inserts, notes, bibliography, index, $32.00) practiced what he preached at one of the world's most opaque financial institution, the Istituto per le Opere di Religione (IOR), also known as the Vatican Bank, from 1971 to 1989.

The 6-foot 3 inch Lithuanian American also doubled as a bodyguard/interpreter for several popes. He certainly stood out among the mostly diminutive denizens of one of the world's smallest countries. Despite having no financial experience he managed to hang on to his job, writes Posner, who spent nine years researching and writing this book.
