Why would you buy an e-book, when you can have this one.On its first publication, The Cardinal was an immediate bestseller, it was published in more than a dozen languages and sold over two million copies. Later made into an Academy Award-nominated film directed by Otto Preminger and starring John Huston, the book tells a story that captured the nation's attention: a working-class American's rise to become a cardinal of the Catholic Church. The daily trials and triumphs of Stephen Fermoyle, from the working-class suburbs of Boston, drive him to become first a parish priest, then secretary to a cardinal, later a bishop, and finally a wearer of the Red Hat.

He began his literary career as a poet, publishing three volumes of verse while acting as an instructor in English at Columbia College. In 1927 he became a freelance writer and produced a succession of books as both articles and short stories for leading magazines.
