All of them led with courage -- but also with 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 and changed the world for the better. No one can tell their intertwined story better than John O'Sullivan, former editor of National Review and the Times of London, who knew all three and conducted exclusive interviews that shed extraordinary new light on these giants of the twentieth century.World politics1945-1989International relationsHistory20th centuryCommunismEurope, EasternHistory20th centuryCommunismSoviet UnionHistoryPresidentsUnited StatesBiographyPopesBiographyPrime ministersGreat BritainBiographyWorld politicsInternational relationsHistoryCommunismHistoryCommunismHistory.PresidentsPopesPrime ministers909.82/50922O'Sullivan John1942-805188MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910135047903321The President, the pope and the prime minister2788307UNINA
