Witness to Hope
by George Weigel
Weigel explores never-before-known information about the Pope's role in some of the century's most momentous events, including the fall of communism, the Vatican/Israel negotiation of 1991-1992, the collapse of the Philippine, Chilean, Nicaraguan, and Paraguayan dictatorships during the 1980s, and the historic 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 Weigel also includes previously unpublished papal correspondence with Leonid Brezhnev, Mikhail Gorbachev, and Deng Xiaoping, and draws on hitherto unavailable autobiographical reminiscences by the Pope.
The President, the Pope, And the Prime Minister
by John O'Sullivan

The Hidden Pope
by Darcy O'Brien
In The Hidden Pope, author Darcy O'Brien offers the account of the extraordinary relationship of Karol Wojtyla and Jerzy Kluger - their boyhood in the small Polish town of Wadowice, their separation at the beginning of World War II, their individual experiences under Nazi and Soviet tyranny, and their reunion almost thirty years later that deepened their friendship and made a profound impact on the history of our time. Set in the perspective of monumental reconciliation between Christianity and Judaism, this is a portrait of John Paul II that describes him as only his closest friends know him and as no pope has ever been portrayed before. Readers will come to know the Holy Father as a man and to understand his most controversial ideas as expressions of his dramatic experience of life.
