Memory and Identity: Conversations at the Dawn of a Millennium

In this compelling volume, Pope John Paul II speaks for the first time on global politics. He discusses his views on freedom and democracy and speaks about the twentieth-century totalitarian ideologies of Communism and Nazism. Making an emphatic appeal for mankind to regard freedom "not only as a gift but as a task" to be used for the common good, he calls for dialogue among all the world's civilizations and religions.
