The occupants of the throne of St. Peter have included saints, visionaries, voluptuaries, rogues and cowards. Through essays on the lives and careers of 50 remarkable popes - such as Peter himself, Gregory the Great, Urban II (who preached the First Crusade) and John Paul II - this work builds to be a concise history of the papacy.
