Bøker av Peter Tarjanyi

In their new book, Peter Tarjanyi and Rita Dosek expose one of the 20th-century spy games with the most serious consequences. Is it possible that a mailed letter gone astray changes the destiny of the whole world?How undefended a nation can be if it is betrayed by but a single citizen?How did two Hungarians reshape the course of history?

Serious secrets hide within the walls of the Church: priests no longer loyal to the cloth, lobby groups vying for position, underworld connections. The Pope's Men paints a very real portrait of Pope John Paul II's secret war with the KGB. With tales of conspiracy, recruitment and crimes dating back through the years, the mysterious past of priests employed by Moscow is at last out in the open. This thriller presents a detailed and true depiction of Eastern Europe as the Iron Curtain crumbles, the KGB's unique method of pulling informers into its web, and the workings of the secret services as they plan a series of strikes that personally involve bishops positioned frighteningly close to the Pope. The recent Vatileaks scandal and the ensuing cover-up only represent a fraction of what actually goes on behind closed doors in Rome. By the end of the book, readers will also know what could possibly lead to a pope resigning his throne.
