My Brother, the Pope

Now Georg writes about the close friendship that has united these two brothers for more than 80 years. This book is a unique window on an extraordinary family that lived through the difficult period of National Socialism in Germany. Those interested in knowing more about the early life of Pope Benedict XVI will not be disappointed. They will also learn of the admirable character and inspiring example of the parents and see how the Catholic faith shaped not just a family, but a culture—in this case, that of Bavaria. Georg’s reminiscences are detailed, intimate, and warm. And while they begin with the earliest years of the Ratzinger family, they continue right up to the present day.
