Rezensionen
Absolutely great read on what each of these three giant figures in history did to bring down communism. I was particularly struck about the Pope's side. It was mostly new stuff to me and I thoroughly enjoyed reading it.
For a gen-Xer like me, this was an interesting recap of the events that I mostly ignored during my childhood. I did feel that the book skipped around a bit too much chronologically. It generally flows from pre-election to post-communism, but there were times when it would skip backward a dozen years between two paragraphs. I found myself double-checking the dates multiple times.
