	Benedict XV Reviews (Site not responding. Last check: )
		What emerges is a portrait of Pope Benedict XV balancing delicate issues between the Allied and Central Powers in the face of continued difficulties with the Italian state, but also a compassionate man who cared greatly for those around him, and for the sufferings of war.
		Adopting a broadly chronological approach, Pope Benedict XV's origins, ascent to the papacy, role in the war and relations with Italy, humanitarian relief, peace diplomacy and post-war relations with Italy and the rest of the world are all covered seemlessly.
		Pollard does an excellent job of placing Benedict XV in his historical context with a particular emphasis, as the subtitle says, on "the pursuit of peace." Benedict deserves to be remembered as the man who, more than perhaps anyone else, tried to end World War I in a way that prevented slaughter and national humiliation.
