Praise for the original edition "This biography illuminates a
remarkable churchman who was in the vanguard of his time. . . .
Dolan contributes importantly to American Catholic historical
scholarship."--Publishers Weekly "Dolan has done a service to
historians of American Catholicism by producing this authoritative
biography establishing the importance of Edwin V. O'Hara to the
twentieth-century Church."--Catholic Historical Review "Like a
talented artist at the keyboard, Dolan in this work develops the
themes that [O'Hara] contributed to . . . the minimum wage law,
rural life, the Confraternity of Catholic Doctrine (CCD), the
revision of the catechism, the translation of the Bible, Catholic
schools, race relations, inter-American affairs--the list goes on.
This is the definitive life of one of the American Church's
greatest leaders."--The Catholic Key
