Published in time for the 60th anniversary of Paul VI’s groundbreaking 1965 address to the United Nations, the book traces his condemnation of the Vietnam War, his role in the Paris Peace Talks, and his firm stance against nuclear weapons. Drawing from primary sources and Vatican archives, Tuohey captures the legacy of a spiritual leader who declared, “If you want peace, make war irrational.”
The US Review of Books has awarded the title its RECOMMENDED badge, writing:
“Tuohey successfully illustrates this point by emphasizing his subject’s assertion that ‘an informed conscience’ could not approve of weapons of mass destruction… Pope Paul VI was a brilliant philosopher whose words should be shared among all believers in the vital importance of peace, acceptance, and tolerance.”
This biography is essential reading for scholars, theologians, and readers invested in peace, justice, and the Church’s evolving voice in world affairs. Available now on Amazon and other leading online bookstores.
