Summary:

"This memoir was written by a co-worker of Dr. Dooley's who knew his methods, plans, hopes and whole public career from a very special point of view--that of his volunteer secretary. Teresa Gallagher tells the fascinating story of her experiences with the "splendid American" who made such an impact on young people through his work among the sick and suffering in Asia, and through his books and lectures. She shows that Dr. Dooley, though he died in 1961, is still very much alive in the minds of many readers."--Jacket.

Written by his voluntary secretary during the closing months of his life.
