description
A monograph of Father Alfred F. D'Alonzo, C.S.C., Ph.D., on the life and work of Father William Evans, C.S.C. (1919-1971) -- a U.S. member of the Congregation of Holy Cross and a missionary in Bangladesh for 26 years. Towards the end of the 9-month Bangladesh War of Independence, West Pakistani soldiers brutally killed Father Evans on November 13, 1971 on the bank of the Ichamoti River near Nawabganj of Dhaka District and dumped his body into the river. Christians, Muslims and Hindus, who knew Father Evans, hailed him as a holy man.
