The Third Crown: A Study in World Government Exercised by the Popes.

This book examines the history of the supranational authority of the papal government, including its military policies and global arbitrations. It is the only published work available that concentrates on the political history of the papacy, which was the only universal authority that actually excercized a measure of control over what we call today soverign states. If we peek behind the courtains of the past, we may discern some lessons for the future. The book was originally published in 1997 by University Press of America and approved by the Editorial Board. The print ISBN number is: 0-7618-0669-5
