Garcia Moreno
By Rev. Fr. Augustine Berthe
Alone among all the heads of state, in the wake of the French revolution and the collapse of societies it brought about, Garcia Moreno restored Christian government in Ecuador; he gave the world a unique example of unshakable fortitude in the accomplishment of duty; he heaped immense and imperishable benefits upon his nation in the material, intellectual, moral and religious orders; alone, finally, a heroic martyr for Catholic civilization, he gave his blood for the noble cause he had defended. Thus he stands before us as the great political man of the 19th century, the type, so rarely seen, of the saviour of nations. Softcover, 401 pp, 66 photos and drawings.
