Recenzii

"For those of us who had the honor of knowing Father Ted, we will never forget his wry humor, sage advice, and infectious faith. For those who did not, this book offers a sense of the man who was a mentor to me and countless others." —Condoleezza Rice, Thomas and Barbara Stephenson Senior Fellow on Public Policy, Hoover Institution, Stanford University, and former U.S. Secretary of State
 
 

"Consider this slender book a mouth-watering appetizer for the volumes that will ultimately be written about Father Ted Hesburgh. If you knew the man, you will relish the fresh insights. If, somehow, you lived unaware in the same world with Father Ted, this book will be a revelation. Bob Schmuhl fails utterly in concealing his love and admiration for his friend of fifty years. Read on and you will understand why.” —Ted Koppel, news anchor and author of Lights Out
 
 

"Father Ted Hesburgh was arguably the most influential American Catholic of the last century. His charm and intellect propelled him to powerful leadership in spiritual, academic, political, and diplomatic circles. His friend and confidant Bob Schmuhl was uniquely positioned to report the candid reflections of this Priest for All Seasons over the last half of his life. The result will inform and inspire readers today and remain priceless for researchers tomorrow." —Matthew V. Storin, former editor of the Boston Globe
 
 

"Robert Schmuhl is a professional interviewer, writer, and observer of the American scene, but in this work he is simply a friend, companion, and frequent visitor to Father Hesburgh's office. Distinct from others, this work offers a personal, affectionate, behind-the-scenes picture of this remarkable priest, educator, and public official." —Thomas Blantz, C.S.C., emeritus, University of Notre Dame
 
 

"Father Hesburgh's rock solid faith, character, and intellect changed Notre Dame, America, and the world forever. Robert Schmuhl's book perfectly captures Father Ted's amazing life." —Joe Donnelly, United States Senator for Indiana

"Father Theodore Hesburgh, CSC, often made headlines when he served as Notre Dame’s president from 1952 to 1987. He was frequently interviewed by Schmuhl, the ND professor of American Studies and Journalism who covered him for various outlets and became a friend and confidant. This volume offers both excerpts and commentary from those interviews and a warmhearted view of the influential priest." —Notre Dame Magazine

"Robert Schmuhl, the author of this book, is well known in Ireland for his insightful commentaries on American life and politics. . . . He first encountered Fr. Hesburgh in the late 1960s as a young Notre Dame undergraduate, who combined his studies with work as a 'stringer' for the Associated Press (AP) reporting on what was happening on campus. . . . Schmuhl's book is a remarkable tribute to a man whom he confesses to have held in awe, and it succeeds admirably in showing why Theodore Hesburgh had earned that awe." —Studies: An Irish Quarterly Review

“Schmuhl interviewed his mentor several times and these interviews are largely the source of this short ‘biographical memoir,’ a term Schmuhl uses to delineate between a memoir that would be about himself and a book about Father Hesburgh through his personal experience.” —The Compass News

“An impressively organized and presented, informed and informative, thoughtful and thought-provoking read from beginning to end, Fifty Years with Father Hesburgh: On and off the Record is an extraordinary work and very strongly recommended for seminary and academic library American Biography collections in general and Christian Studies supplemental studies reading lists in particular. A ‘must’ read for anyone who admires Father Hesburgh.” —Midwestbookreview.com

“As I looked back at a half-century of watching and working with [Hesburgh], I was struck, again and again, by the variety of experiences in his life and the centrality of his faith (as well as moral concerns) to everything he did. . . . At a time when our politics and civic life have become so polarized, he sought to bridge differences whenever that was possible and to operate from the center. . . . Among his many talents, Hesburgh was a gifted storyteller.” —IrishCentral

Extras

EXCERPT:

“You’re always welcome here.”
Father Hesburgh had finished telling the last of his stories during our conversation and extended his hand to say good-bye. A student was waiting outside his office to read that day’s New York Times to him.
Visibly more frail than in our previous visit a few weeks earlier, he had talked almost exclusively about the distant past during this discussion. A question about Frank Leahy triggered a memory of traveling to the distraught football coach’s home after a defeat by Michigan State and trying to bring him out of his self-imposed funk. With a winning percentage of .855 and six (of eleven) undefeated seasons, losing at any time was alien to every gene in Leahy’s body. However, Father Hesburgh, new to the university presidency and a decade younger than the famous coach, decided personal intervention was re- quired. So he took both executive and priestly action.
(From Fifty Years with Father Hesburgh: On and Off the Record by Robert Schmuhl)
