Description
"The Fighting Nun: My Story is the autobiography of Sr. Margherita Marchione, professor emerita of Italian language and literature at Fairleigh Dickinson University. It humorously reveals why she has been called the "independent nun," "flying nun," "whirlwind nun," "literary nun," "feisty nun" and, more recently, "the defender of Pope Pius XII." This volume describes both her happy and difficult times up to the period of her bitter confrontation with John Cornwell, author of Hitler's Pope: The Secret History of Pius XII, the book that unjustly condemns Pope Pius XII's so-called "silence" during the Holocaust."--BOOK JACKET.
