The account of the papacy of John Paul II has been extensively rewritten and augmented, and vigilant read- ers will detect the modifi ca tion of some earlier judgements. I have also added a brief appendix explaining the procedures for the elec- tion of a new Pope set in place by Pope John Paul II in 1996. The process of revision has greatly benefited from the insights and crit- icisms of the reviewers of the first edition: I would like to express my particular thanks to Patrick Collinson, T.F.X. Noble and Simon Ditchfield. The illustrations to the first edition elicited much favourable comment, and though it is flattering to the author of a lavishly illustrated book when his publishers reckon his text worth reproducing in its own right, there is inevitably some loss. This edition is less sumptuous than the first, but I hope that the large number of picturesand captions we have retained will continue to extend and deepen the narrative in the text, rather than simply decorate it. I am greatly indebted to Sally Salvesen and to Ruth Applin who designed the new edition. Finally, I renew the heart- felt dedication of this book to my wife Jenny.
