With copious use of Saint Maksymilian's original writings and of testimonies given by his confreres and people who knew him in Poland and Japan, this biography presents the Saint's life, mission, and martyrdom in the historical and cultural context in which he lived. Written in a narrative style, the biography is anchored on primary sources and enables the reader "to meet" the Saint and discover unique and inspiring aspects of his life and ministry. Kolbe scholars do not hesitate to consider it a most reliable source in uncovering the spiritual legacy of one of the greatest followers of Christ in the 20th Century, whom Pope John Paul II named the Patron Saint of our difficult times.Â

"Of all the biographies concerning Saint Maksymilian with which I am familiar, this one, in my opinion, is the most comprehensive and authentic." --Brother Hieronim Maria Wierzba OFM Conv., Niepokalanow, Poland, Secretary to St. Maksymilian Kolbe
