Synopsis
A vivid account of the personality of Danilo Dolci and the heroic work that he did among the poor of Palermo and points west. "The peaceful uphill struggle for reform against ingrained customs and attitudes, against an indifferent government in far-off Rome, a reactionary church, and the ever-present Mafia carried on with varying success and often under great personal stress is pictured in a lively and colorful manner." [Agnes F. Peterson, "Library Journal"]
