One of my fellow bloggers (Dr. Sweeting) recently gave me a copy of The President, The Pope, and The Prime Minister Three Who Changed The World, by John O’Sullivan, former speechwriter for Margaret Thatcher, editor of the National Review and the Times of London, and I can’t put it down for very long.

If you are anything like me, you have two or three books going at one time so if one is a little slow going a change of pace, and sometimes subject, is refreshing.

This one is a page turner with interesting insights into three amazing people; President Ronald Reagan, Pope John Paul II and Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher.
