Here at last is an authoritative biography of Paul VI, which does not limit its narrative mainly to happenings in a man's life. The great events in his life are his thoughts, his teachings, the evolution of his personality and his character. They are the realities which mark our epoch of the Church and are influencing the thought and, thereby, the trends of our time. It is also the first biography covering the post-Vatican II period, right up to the address to the Jesuits in the Sistine Chapel at the end of 1966.
