Loftus and some other guy wrote a great book, Unholy Trinity. A tad to harsh on Pius XII, it has three main themes, one of which is how Pius XII had his plans for Central Europe all mapped out, unfortunately uncle Joe didn't let him have the elections he was counting on his guys to win, except in Italy, where James Jesus Angleton et al pulled it off.
He's a little too harsh on the Catholic church imo, Pius XII and the Catholic church did help some fairly putrid characters make it down to South America, but they did this because they felt the battles ahead were more important than the battles behind.
