In the process this double biography reveals mankind's last real hope for deliverance from the crazed, satanic forces that still afflict it. Rarely, has the conflict of two opposing worlds been so dramatized and epitomized as in the stories of St. Maximilian Kolbe, a Catholic Franciscan Priest, and Rudolf Hoess, a Nazi Concentration Camp Kommandant.
