The time, energy, research, and care that needed to go into writing this book proves that few other men have loved this country more than Rev. Jacques. The book is divided into 2 parts. Both parts are intriguing and informative. In fact, the book includes a lot of new information even for the Albanian student of history, let alone foreigners interested in this land.` [Reverend Edwin E.
