He was recently awardedthe Medal of Honor, and he is also being consideredby the Vatican for canonization as a saint.Just as remarkable as this double honor arethe non-Catholic witnesses who attest to FatherKapaun’s heroism: the Protestants, Jews, andMuslims who either served with the military chaplainin the thick of battle or endured with him theunbelievably brutal conditions of a prisoner of warcamp. As journalists Roy Wenzl and Travis Heyingdiscovered, all of these Korean War veterans, nomatter their religion, agree that Father Kapaun didmore to save lives and maintain morale than anyother man they know.Then there are the alleged miracles—the recenthealings attributed to Father Kapaun’s intercessionthat defy scientific explanation. Under investigationby the Vatican as a necessary step in the process ofcanonization, these cures witnessed by non-Catholicdoctors are also covered in this book.In tracking down the amazing story of FatherKapaun for the Wichita Eagle newspaper, Wenzl andHeying uncovered a paradox. Kapaun’s ordinarybackground as the son of Czech immigrant farmers inKansas sowed the seeds of his greatness. Illustrated.“What a great book—I could not put it downand read it in one sitting!”Fr.
