George G. Higgins and the Quest for Worker Justice: The Evolution
of Catholic Social Thought in America is a comprehensive and
fascinating examination of the Catholic Church's involvement in
social issues from the late 19th to the end of the 20th century
through the lens of the life, career, writings, and ministry of the
legendary Monsignor Higgins. Inspiring to both the clergy and
laity, Msgr. George G. Higgins put a human face on the
institutional commitments of the Church, advocated the role of the
laity, remained loyal to the vision of the Second Vatican Council,
and took the side of the working poor in his movement with
organized labor. Much more than a limited biography, author John O'
Brien offers a sweeping history of the "social questions" facing
America over the past 100 years, the thought behind one of the
leading figures in the worker justice movement, and a moving
application of the rich heritage of Catholic Social Thought.
Shortly after the end of World War II, the world is still trying to
put itself back together, Europe most of all. Within the chaos, a
French heroin cartel takes advantage and begins successfully
trafficking drugs into the United States, via New York City,
utilizing a covert Latin American organization. The DEA is on the
hunt. Meanwhile, Israeli Intelligence struggles to pin down the
location of ex-Nazi war criminals. Their investigation collides
with that of the DEA, and two very unlikely parties become allies.
As the agencies work together, they soon come to a shocking
revelation. The Latin American connection, sneaking heroin onto
U.S. soil, is linked to the ex-Nazis hunted by the Mossad. Now more
than ever, two countries must share confidential information to
stop not only a drug epidemic but also bring to justice hateful men
who tortured and murdered thousands.
