"For centuries the historical records of the Inquistion have been locked away to beome the subject of legend. In 1998 the Vatican opened these archves for the first time ever. Secret Files of the Inquistion unveils the incredible true story of the western world's most potent religion and its determination to maintain power at any cost. From the pages of secret documents hidden in European archives comes a tale of faith and fervor, of torture and courage, of the fight for human rights and religious tolerance."--Container.
