"Aside from the obvious subject of Pope John Paul II, this book gives a rarely heard account of how the Vatican and JP II helped bring about the downfall of Communism. In this time of rhetoric about hope it is worth reading the true story of how two men's belief in truth and the inherent flaws of Communism and their pointed attacks on those flaws brought about the bloodless fall of one of the worlds most horrific empires.
Unfortunately the media never gave the teamwork of Ronald Reagan and Pope John Paul II enough public acknowledgement for their major roles in the downfall of the Soviet Union. While every word of our new, untested, President is extolled as bringing untold hope and focus to our current problems it is a good exercise to look at the courage and common sense of one of our past Presidents in the approach to the greatest problem of that era. The author of this book is a respected journalist who helped expose the excesses of the Nixon Administration and bring about his resignation.
Pope John Paul II grew up under the Nazis and the Soviets and had no illusions regarding either. At the same time he never advocated nor partook in violence against either regime while still combatting the effects of both. Upon becoming Pope, John Paul proceeded to reverse the Vatican policy of Otpolitik and working with the Reagan administration, the CIA and the Polish Solidarity movement to actively undermine Soviet Communism. While Reagan is called the Great Communicator, this episode is mostly about morality and moral courage and their importance when facing a problem that was considered only from a military and political approach for decades."
