Summary:
"In this fascinating new book, acclaimed scholar and bestselling author
Paul
Kengor tells the
untold
story
of the partnership between
Pope
John
Paul
II
and
President
Ronald
Reagan
and how together they changed the course of world history. Kengor shows that the bonds between the
pope
and the
president
ran deeper than anyone has suspected, and that these bonds drove the two men to confront what they knew to be the great evil of the twentieth
century
: Soviet communism.
Reagan
and
John
Paul
almost didn't have the opportunity to forge this relationship: just six weeks apart in the spring of 1981, these world leaders took bullets from would-be assassins. Kengor's unique access to
Reagan
insiders and his tireless archival research allows him to reveal previously unknown details, including: The inside
story
on the 1982 meeting where the
president
and
pope
confided their conviction that God had spared their lives a year earlier for the purpose of defeating the communist empire. Captivating new information on the attempted assassination of
Pope
John
Paul
II
, including a heretofore-unreported secret investigation
Reagan
authorized--was Moscow behind the plot? The many similarities and the spiritual bond between the
pope
and the president--and how
Reagan
and a close adviser privately spoke of the 'DP': the Divine Plan to take down communism. New details about how the Protestant
Reagan
became fascinated by the 'secrets of Fatima,' dating to the reported apparition of the Virgin Mary at Fatima, Portugal, starting on May 13, 1917--sixty-four years to the day before the attempt on
John
Paul
's life An
extraordinary
insider account of how the Soviet Union may have been preparing to send troops into the
Pope
's native Poland and impose martial law in March 1981--only to pull back when news broke that
Reagan
had been shotShortly after leaving the White House,
Reagan
told three men from the Polish Solidarity movement that
John
Paul
II
was his 'best friend.' That may seem overstated, but it is a telling indicator of the kinship and supreme objective that united these two towering figures."--From the publisher.
