Description
There were three mid-level managers, and no one imagined that any of them would rise to the top. Ronald Reagan was already too old to be president—and always too conservative. Margaret Thatcher was not just too conservative—she was a woman and was not on any list of future leaders of the Conservative Party. And the thought of a Polish pope was truly absurd, especially since the cardinal in question was a staunch anti-communist and defender of Catholic orthodoxy at a time when many in the church and around the world were convinced that the future belonged to the Soviet side and social liberalism in the West. All three not only rose to the top, but they also survived assassination attempts, helped bring about the miraculous peaceful liberation of Eastern Europe from Soviet communism, and revitalized their countries and the West. This is all discussed by seasoned journalist and speechwriter for Margaret Thatcher, John O'Sullivan, in the presented book.
