The President, the Pope, and the Prime Minister: Three Who Changed the World

John O'Sullivan - the former "Times" journalist and advisor to Margaret Thatcher - explores the impact of three of the most influential world leaders of the Post WWII Era. "The President, the Pope, and the Prime Minister" is a sweeping, dramatic account of how three great figures changed the course of history. All of them led with courage-and great optimism. The Pope helped ordinary Poles and East Europeans banish their fear of Soviet Communism, convincing them that liberation was possible.The prime minister restored her country's failing economy by reviving the 'vigorous virtues' of the British people. The president rebuilt America's military power, its national morale, and its pre-eminence as leader of the free world. Together they brought down an evil empire. They offered people a better future when others talked of 'malaise' and 'limits'. They were apostles of hope in an age of despair. They changed the world for the better. And no one can tell their intertwined story better than John O'Sullivan, former editor of the "Times" and "National Review", who knew all three and has conducted exclusive interviews that shed extraordinary new light on these giants of the twentieth century.
