Joan Of Arc by Willard Trask
Set against the Hundred Years’ War, the book traces the life of a French peasant girl who, claiming divine visions, convinces the dauphin to let her lead troops, lifts the siege of Orléans and helps secure his coronation; it then follows her capture by Burgundian allies of the English, a politically charged trial for heresy, execution by burning, and the later reassessment that made her a national martyr. The narrative emphasizes her faith, courage, and the tangled interplay of religion and politics, offering a concise, sympathetic account of how an unlikely young leader altered the course of French history.
