The book deserves to be acquired by every self-respecting library in the land, and to be made available to all who show an interest in Irish history and biography." - Hallel "Morrissey has written a lengthy and detailed life and times biography of Peter Kenney. His book is an important contribution to 19th-century Irish and American religious history." - Irish Times "This is a splendid book, an insight in depth into aspects of Irish, Jesuit, and American history alike. Rush to get it . . ." - Religious Life Review
