WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY DAVID BRADSHAW'A penetrating and vivid biography... Huxley never wrote better' Sunday TimesThe life of Father Joseph, Cardinal Richelieu's aide, was a shocking paradox. After spending his days directing operations on the battlefield, Father Joseph would pass the night in prayer, or in composing spiritual guidance for the nuns in his care.
