Description: "This is the story of an archbishop whose courage cost him his life, told through the words of those who worked with him, lived with him, and prayed with him. Oscar Romero was considered a safe choice as leader of the church in war-torn El Salvador but he astonished supporters and opponents of the military regime alike by his uncompromising message of justice and reconciliation. Since his murder in March 1980 Romero has become a symbol of the church's commitment to the rights of the poor."--BOOK JACKET.
