First published in 1958

This book tells the spellbinding story of “one of the remarkable priests of God who leaped behind enemy lines and into the midst of combat with no weapon other than the sword of the spirit, no protection other than the shield of faith.

“Here is the story of the airborne troopers told by the one who knew them best and with insights only a priest could possess.

“It is sometimes humorous, sometimes tragic, often heroic, but always honest and inspiring as seen through the understanding and sympathetic eyes of the paratrooper padre.” (Lt.-Gen. Thomas F. Hickey)

Richly illustrated throughout with photos.
