Given unprecedented access to Pope John Paul II and the people who have known and worked with him throughout
his life, George Weigel presents a portrait of the Pope as a man, a thinker, and a leader whose religious convictions
have defined a new approach to world politics - and changed the course of history.. "Weigel explores new information
about the Pope's role in some of the recent past's most stirring events, including the fall of communism; the Vatican/Israel
negotiation of 1991-92; the collapse of the Philippine, Chilean, Nicaraguan, and Paraguayan dictatorships during
the 1980s; and the epic papal visit to Cuba. Weigel also includes previously unpublished papal correspondence with
Leonid Brezhnev, Mikhail Gorbachev, and Deng Xiaoping, and draws on hitherto unavailable autobiographical reminiscences
by the Pope.. "Rounding out the dramatic story of Pope John Paul II are fresh translations of his poetry;
detailed personal anecdotes of the Pope as a young man, priest, and friend, sketched by those who knew him best;
and in-depth interviews with Catholic leaders throughout the world.
