- Summary:
- Few historical figures have been as universally loved and no Saint is more adored than Joan of Arc. The story of the young French peasant girl who led an army to help crown a king and was burned at the stake for her efforts has never lost its power to move us.
- Using only material compiled from the transcripts and testimonies of Joan of Arc's condemnation trials, translator Willard Trask has arranged her exact words into a unique autobiography. Stripped of the usual interpretive gloss, Joan's words resonate with a glow which has made her an enduring political, military and spiritual heroine.
