Juan Pablo II Fue uno de los personajes más carismáticos de la segunda mitad del siglo XX. Tras una carrera meteórica en el seno de la Iglesia, se convirtió en papa de forma sorprendente a la muerte de su antecesor Juan Pablo I. Entonces comenzó uno de los más largos pontificados de la historia, caracterizado por los numerosos viajes de Wojtyla y por su enorme exposición a los medios de comunicación, pero también por coincidir en el tiempo con algunos sucesos históricos fundamentales como el fin de la guerra fría y el derrumbe del comunismo.
Como ya hizo en su polémico libro sobre la muerte de Juan Pablo I, En Nombre de Dios, el escritor y renombrado investigador David Yallop se aparta de nuevo de la historia oficial y del ensalzamiento gratuito, para diseccionar la figura y el legado de Karol Wojtyla. Con abundancia de datos y testimonios de la CIA, la KGB y de los mismos miembros de la curia vaticana, el libro reconstruye un pontificado tan grandioso en sus propósitos como corto en sus resultados. Yallop atribuye este desequilibrio a un estilo excesivamente personalista y a los grandes tropiezos—su incapacidad para abordar el problema de la corrupción de las finanzas vaticanas, su pasividad a la hora de denunciar y de enfrentarse a los casos de abuso sexual protagonizados por eclesiásticos y su férrea obstinación en rechazar las reformas solicitadas por millones de fieles y por una parte significativa del clero—que ensombrecieron su trayectoria.
El Poder y la Gloria es una mirada audaz e intrépida a un hombre rápidamente encaminado a la santificación y su profundo efecto en un instituto sumamente polarizado.

Pope John Paul II was a leader to millions of Catholics at a time of tremendous change. Promising a renewed church, he became a symbol of hope worldwide. Now, four years after his death, calls for his sainthood continue. But is this the whole truth? In The Power and the Glory, David Yallop explores the myths and half truths of John Paul II's long reign, revealing everything from the mismanagement of Vatican finance and the child sexual abuse crisis to the Vatican's role in the fall of Communism and the rise of the Opus Dei. Including explosive revelations from the CIA, the KGB, and the Vatican itself, The Power and the Glory is a bold and unflinching account of a beloved leader.

In God's Name: An Investigation into the Murder of Pope John Paul I

AN INVESTIGATION INTO MURDER 
 In God's Name has been at the top of the bestseller lists all over the world. It contains some of the most explosive and dramatic revelations ever published about the internal affairs of the Vatican. 
 During the late evening of September 28th or the early morning of September 29th, 1978, Pope John Paul I, Albino Luciani, known as 'the smiling Pope' died only thirty-three days after his election. 
 David Yallop began his investigation into this death at the request of certain individuals resident in Vatican City who were disturbed by a cover-up of the true circumstances surrounding the discovery of the Pope's body. It is his conviction that murder was the fate of Albino Luciani and he presents his evidence in this enthralling book. 
 Over three years continual and exhaustive research, David Yallop uncovered a chain of corruption that linked leading figures in financial, criminal and clerical circles around the world in a conspiracy of awesome proportions. To this day, several years after its first publication (1984), the central questions raised in In God's Name remain unanswered and the frightening accusations still undisputed.
