Summary

"The Cold War came to an abrupt end at the close of the 20th century thanks to the shared vision and efforts of two men: Pope John Paul II and Ronald Reagan. While seemingly very different, they shared much, including a philosophy of freedom and the belief that they had been called to bring an end to the Soviet regime. This calling they believed had a divine source, and hence referred to their efforts as the Divine Plan."--, Provided by the Publisher
