I personally knew Fr Victor when he was retired and serving at a university parish in Madison, WI, he was my confessor and even a friend. A very kind and holy man. He served as a missionary priest for decades in Sierra Leone and his account of being held hostage by militants is very dramatic and a true record of things that happened during that country's civil war. It would appeal to many people who like true accounts of adventure and danger, even if not Catholic, though obviously Fr Victor was a faithful and heroic Catholic priest.
