Description
Summary:	The Cold War came to an abrupt end at the close of the 20th century thanks to the shared vision and efforts of two men, Pope John Paul II and Ronald Reagan. While seemingly very different, they shared much, including a philosophy of freedom and the belief that they had been called to bring an end to the Soviet regime. This calling they believed had a divine source, and hence referred to their efforts as the Divine Plan.
