Recenzje

"The instinct, inside the Vatican, is to cover up. Cornwell's is to expose, as a matter of urgency. His book is immaculately researched and his conclusions are deeply disturbing. The Pope in Winter should be read by every Roman Catholic, and by every other variety of Christian" (Sunday Times)

"Whether this papacy will be seen as triumph or disaster, or more likely a mixture of both, will be for history to decide. This account will be useful reading for those who attempt to make that judgement" (Independent)

"In this life of John Paul II, [Cornwell] celebrates his subject's achievements as well as deploring the mistakes" (The Economist)
