MITSOTAKIS: How The East Was Won, A Review Of ‘The Divine Plan: John Paul II, Ronald Reagan, and the Dramatic End of the Cold War’

On Nov 13, 1979, nine Soviet leaders, including Mikhail Gorbachev, met to discuss a growing problem. There was a new Pope, a man from Poland who was capable of inspiring millions in the captive nations of Eastern Europe to resist their oppressors. It was decided that something must be done to neutralize the threat posed to their regime by the Polish Pope .

With concise information, good storytelling and excellent visuals, “The Divine Plan” tells the story of this man, Pope John Paul II, his greatest ally, Ronald Reagan, and their battle against Communism. This documentary by Robert Orlando should be recommended to anyone interested in the history of the Cold War and all who doubt the power of faith to move world events.
