Book Description
"Nearly fifty years have passed since the dramatic death of Dom Gabriel Sortais during the course of the Second Vatican Council. Much has transpired in the meantime, both inside and outside the Cistercian Order of the strict Observance. As Abbot General, he stamped the Trappist Order in a highly personal way. The form he gave it is still with it today, despite many efforts to modernize further." "Guy Oury has told the story of Dom Gabriel as it unfolds from primary sources, both witnesses and documents. What we have here is certainly the most comprehensive life of Dom Gabriel Sortais available in English."--BOOK JACKET.
