The Monsignor O'Flaherty brought to life in this story is as intriguing and exciting as the film version.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWitty, brilliant, and fearless, Monsignor O'Flaherty helped escaped Allied prisoners of war and persecuted Jews to elude capture by the Germans. At great risk to themselves, Monsignor O'Flaherty and his equally brave friends--priests, nuns, and lay men and women, including a few aristocrats--saved thousands of lives. They constantly needed to stay one step ahead of the ever-persistent Nazis until their surrender to the Allies in 1945.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the 35th title in the acclaimed \u003cb\u003eVision Books\u003c\/b\u003e series on saints and heroes for youth.
