Their conclusions are controversial, but <strong>His Holiness</strong> provides an insightful look at the connections between governments, the Catholic Church and the Solidarity movement in the Pope's native Poland. ]]>

    <![CDATA[Two veteran reporters, American Carl Bernstein (co-author of <strong>All the President's Men</strong>) and Italian Marco Politi have teamed up to present the case that Pope John Paul II worked closely with American political figures to cause the collapse of Communism in Eastern Europe. Their conclusions are controversial, but <strong>His Holiness</strong> provides an insightful look at the connections between governments, the Catholic Church and the Solidarity movement in the Pope's native Poland. ]]>

    <![CDATA[Was the fall of Communism a direct result of a covert confederation between the U.S. government and the Vatican? So claim reporters Carl Bernstein and Marco Politi in <em>His Holiness</em>. Citing meetings between Pope John Paul II and high-level officials in the Reagan administration--including William Casey, director of the C.I.A.--they point to a &quot;secret alliance&quot; as the factor that sealed the collapse of Communism. The evidence marshaled by Bernstein and Politi--ranging from formerly secret American diplomatic cables to formerly secret Soviet Politburo minutei--doesn't always justify their bold conclusion, but it does provide plenty of new information about a key set of events in modern history.]]>
