The Final Revolution by Weigel
The collapse of communism in central and eastern Europe - the revolution of 1989 - was a singularly stunning event in a century already known for the unexpected. This work is an exploration of how the Catholic Church might have shaped the moral revolution inside the political revolution.
"An incisive historical reconstruction that is as spiritually uplifting as it is politically significant"--Zbigniew Brzezinski
"George Weigel's analysis of the 1989 revolution in Central and Eastern Europe offers evidence that it was the power of nonviolent force and citizens' conscience, not the guns and bombs of warfare, that ended Sovietism."--Washington Post Book World
"An extremely interesting, important contribution to the greatest mystery of the century: how Communism collapsed and 'who done it.'"--Jeane Kirkpatrick
"Argues the primacy of the spirit."--The Washington Times
"If a disconsolate KGB agent were looking for an explanation as to why Communism fell apart so fast, he would probably turn first to the Vatican and to the first Polish Pope. George Weigel has done some very useful sleuthing to help us figure out how something of a miracle was actually pulled off."--E.J. Dionne, Jr.
"The spiritual dimension had been largely overlooked in accounting for the Revolution of '89. No longer. Weigel's brilliant demonstration of the relationship between faith and revolution gives us a new window on the miracle of '1989.'"--Charles Krauthammer
