Revue de presse :

This wonderful book, so thoroughly researched and beautifully written, is about Aengus but was inspired by the more reserved Jack. In Purcell s painstaking accuracy, In the Heart of Concern becomes a rock-solid tribute to both. It s a seminal work on the extraordinary contribution of Irish people, clerical and lay, to the developing world. --The irish Times

Deirdre Purcell's impressive book is packed with fascinating anecdotes and extracts from interviews with journalists and others, including his successors in the job. Some are amusing, some make for grim reading but overall they contribute to a well-rounded portrait of someone who strove to make the world a better place. --irish Independent

a highly readable, accessible, fair and thought-provoking biography --Irish Mail on Sunday

Pr�sentation de l'�diteur :

When Father Aengus Cornelius Finucane entered a room, his entrance was noted. When he held court at one of his parties, the focus was on him. When he addressed a gathering, made a case to a Prime Minister or importuned a new Concern donor, his audience listened. In this powerful new biography, the result of over 50 interviews and extensive travel, Deirdre Purcell explores the life and work of Concern founder Father Aengus Finucane. She charts the work he did to build Concern into the global charity and vital player in relief efforts around the world that it is today.
