A Pope and a President Lib/E: John Paul II, Ronald Reagan, and the Extraordinary

Description: A Pope and a President Lib/E by Paul Kengor, James Anderson Foster Even as historians credit -Ronald Reagan and Pope John Paul II with hastening the end of the Cold War, they have failed to recognize the depth or significance of the bond that developed between the two leaders. Acclaimed scholar and bestselling author Paul Kengor changes that. In this fascinating book, he reveals a singular bond--which included a spiritual connection between the Catholic pope and the Protestant president--that drove the two men to confront what they knew to be the great evil of the twentieth century: Soviet communism. Reagan and John Paul II almost didnt have the opportunity to forge this relationship: just six weeks apart in the spring of 1981, they took bullets from would-be assassins. But their strikingly similar near-death experiences brought them close together--to Moscows dismay. A Pope and a President is the product of years of research. Based on Kengors tireless archival digging and his unique access to Reagan insiders, this book reveals captivating new details on a relationship that changed history.
