CONTROVERSIAL, UTTERLY COMPELLING .•• THIS IS THE BOOK * that makes public-for the first time-the hid den drama of politics and passions behind papal selection * that was on no fewer than ten bestseller lists within days of publication * that no-one today can afford to ignore So monumental are the implications of THE FINAL CONCLAVE that normal publishing procedures could not be followed when it was printed in hardcover. No galley proofs were made. Advance review copies could not be distributed. Arrangements were made to ship all copies of the finished book simultaneously to all parts of America to minimize any opportunity for the book to be surpressed. The reason for all this is simple. THE FINAL CON CLAVE discloses secrets previously known to fewer than a dozen people in the world ..• MALACHI MARTIN l~HE FINAL CONCLAVE C0RGIBOOKS A DIVISION OF TRANSWORLD PUBLISHERS LTD THE FINAL CONCLAVE A CORGI BOOK 0 552 10982 7 First published in Great Britain by Melbourne House Ltd.
