Publishers Description: The first biography to focus on Pope John Paul IIs controversial reactions to recent crises in the Church and the global arena. In a bold and highly original work, The Pope in Winter brings John Pauls complex character into sharp focus. A veteran observer of the Vatican, Cornwell combines eyewitness reporting with impeccable sources. Respectful of John Pauls prodigious spirit and battles for human rights, Cornwell raises questions about a system that grants lifetime power to an individual vulnerable to age and illness. The result is a striking portrait of John Paul in the winter of his life and an incisive assessment of his legacy.
