Joan of Arc, Paperback Book

Joan of Arc Paperback

Description

Where previous works have concentrated on the religious and feminist aspects of Joan's career, this title addresses the vital issue of what it was that made her the heroine she became.

Why did the soldiers of France follow a woman into battle when no troops of the Hundred Years War had done so before, and how was she able to win?

The English called her whore, and believed her to be possessed, but her own troops trusted her without any proof of her abilities. And she did have very great abilities - in particular her remarkable prowess as a military leader of men.

A new angle on one of the most fascinating and enigmatic figures of history.
