Dietrich von Hildebrand, widely regarded as one of the great Catholic philosophers of the 20th century, is well-known for his numerous books, but, until this present work, not much has been known of his remarkable and inspiring life. Written by his wife, Alice, also a highly respected Catholic thinker, this is a fascinating, moving and, at times, gripping account of a truly great man of the Church who suffered much for the faith. Based on a very long "letter" Dietrich wrote to his wife late in his life, it tells his story from his glorious youth with a unique intellectual and cultural formation, his conversion to Catholicism, his great passion for truth and beauty, his extensive writing on Christian philosophy and theology, and his steadfast, determined opposition to Nazism that made him a marked man who miraculously escaped execution. A powerful biography of a relentless fighter against injustice, a devoted son of the Church, a man who had the "soul of a lion". Illustrated. "A man whose life and work have left an indelible mark on the history of the Church in the 20th century. Alice von Hildebrand has done a great service in giving us this fascinating portrait of his extraordinary and inspiring life." --Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger

I found most of the chapters boring because I am not interested in who goes with who and who he knows. Rather I am interested in his philophical and theological ideas which was not hardly in the book. Though the last chapter was excellent and gripping and is an example of the truth the people in this era went through to gain their freedom and be one step ahead of the Gernman as they took over Europe. He stayed alive through close calls the the hand of God and faith and peoples kindness that challenged humility of himself and others who assisted it throughout his journey to freedom before he reached the United States. This chapter is a must read and shows us how grateful Americans should be for their freedom that we experience in the United States.
