Zeal for your house
"Arrested as a 'spy' in 1958 and sentenced to 20 years in prison, Bishop James Edward Walsh was the last American and foreign missioner to remain in China. As director of the Catholic Central Bureau in Shanghai, the former Superior General of Maryknoll was placed under house arrest after the Communist take-over. Later he was subjected to a staged trial. In 1970, after serving 12 years in prison, the Communists unexpectedly released the 79-year-old bishop. ... Collected here for the first time are unpublished Walsh writings recalling his consecration as bishop, his prison years and some recent reflections."--Dust jacket back
