Description: Hugh O'Flaherty by Fiorella De Maria "Hugh OFlaherty lived an extraordinary life, serving God as a priest by saving thousands of lives. He was nicknamed the Scarlet Pimpernel of the Vatican."-- FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Monsignor Hugh OFlaherty was working in the Vatican when dictator Benito Mussolini fell from power and Germany invaded Italy in 1943. This courageous Irish priest who resisted the Nazi occupation was made famous by the movie, The Scarlet and the Black, starring Gregory Peck. The Monsignor OFlaherty brought to life in this story is as intriguing and exciting as the film version.Witty, brilliant, and fearless, Monsignor OFlaherty helped escaped Allied prisoners of war and persecuted Jews to elude capture by the Germans. At great risk to themselves, Monsignor OFlaherty 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.This is the 35th title in the acclaimed Vision Books series on saints and heroes for youth. Not just a thrilling adventure story, this book offers a portal into a real-life battle between good and evil. It also tells of the need after a war for forgiveness and redemption.
