Résumé
Szulc believes that to understand the pope, one must understand his Polishness -- the "essential trait of his personality." The first half of the book covers Karol Wojtyla's life up to his election as pope. Szulc sees him as a… man of great intellect but also as a man of contradictions. The author covers the pope's conservative stand on subjects such as birth control and celibacy as well as his more liberal stand on human rights and social justice. 1995.
