Publisher Notes
In 1978, shortly after his election as Pope, Karol Wajtyla made history by granting his first audience of his papacy with his childhood friend, Jerzy Kluger, opening a new era in relations between Catholics and Jews. Here, Darcy O'Brien offers a moving account of the extraordinary relationship of the two from their boyhood in a small Polish town to their experiences under Nazi and Soviet tyranny, and finally, their reunion almost thirty years later. As much dramatic coming-of-age story as historical document. The Hidden Pope is a portrait of one of the greatest spiritual leaders of the century.



Industry Reviews
