The Storm Over the Deputy is a compelling anthology of essays and critical articles assembled in response to Rolf Hochhuth's incendiary stage drama The Deputy, which accused Pope Pius XII of moral complicity in the Holocaust through his silence during World War II. Editor Eric Bentley — one of the twentieth century's foremost theatre critics — curates a wide-ranging collection of voices, from historians and theologians to journalists and playwrights, each grappling with the explosive questions the drama raised about guilt, responsibility, and institutional power. The collection chronicles the fierce international controversy that erupted upon the play's premiere in 1963, capturing the full breadth of outrage, defense, and debate that reverberated across Europe and the Americas. Authoritative in scope yet urgent in tone, it presents a unique historical document that forces readers to confront the intersection of art, politics, and moral conscience at one of history's darkest moments.
