Rezensionen
"Though incomplete at Rogers' death in 1989 at 75, the manuscript has been felicitously 'reconstructed' and edited. The result is a perfectly charming and often exciting work in which the author reviews the 'one grand concatenation' that was his experience as father, husband, teacher, writer, academic dean, department chairman, Marine Corps officer during World War II, and always and everywhere, a loyal (and at times constructively critical) Catholic gentleman." (George E. Ryan, The Pilot)
