An American, a priest, and the only "free" Catholic voice in
Russia, the author during the early 1950's was an exceedingly
popular figure among the entire foreign colony as well as the
Marines stationed in Moscow. Skating on thin political ice until
his unexplained expulsion last year (this was an act of retaliation
against the State Department), the multi-lingual priest was a man
of many interests and activities. He organized a crack hockey team
among the Marines, played the game himself along with Ambassador
Bohlen. He mastered bridge, small talk, and the art of mixing
martinis- which put him on close terms with the diplomatic world
where he could present a fairer view of the Catholic position and
gain some international support for maintaining the Church in
Russia. He set up a choral group, musical evenings, volley ball
games, and many other morale-building entertainments. And his story
includes many of his travels into Central Asia and the so-called
Russian Riviera.... An engaging first person story, which reflects
the warmth and breadth of the man and is not too strongly political
nor religious in its stress. Persons of any faith, or none at all,
will enjoy it. (Kirkus Reviews)
