From the persecution of local priests to an assassination order against Pope John Paul II, the KGB viewed Catholicism as a threat to stability in Eastern Europe and treated the church as an enemy of the State. Lifetime journalist and former U.S. Army Intelligence Officer John Koehler has written the definitive book on this startling history.

A voice from out of the past reminds us of radical issues which have not yet been resolved by the Reformation, nor even by Christians living in this modern age.
