ICS Publications, Washington DC 1998 softcover, 5½" x 8½" Book in VERY GOOD condition This exciting new biography by historian Francis J Murphy retraces the enture career of Pere Jacques (Lucien-Louis Bunel) from his humble beginnings to its heroic conclusion, carefully situating him within the religious and social context of his times. He was a member of the Discalced Carmelites, a religious order dedicated to prayer and solitude, yet spent himself tirelessly in the service of others. A fervent Catholic priest, he was admired and trusted by non-believers and Communist fellow-prisoners in the concentration camp of Mauthausen.
