Heavenly voices, she said, had told her to seek out the Dauphin, Charles, so that he might give her an army with which to deliver France from its English occupiers. The ensuing tale of Joan?s military success is told here in a gripping and authoritative narrative. Previous works have concentrated on the religious and feminist aspects of Joan?s career; this is the first to address the vital issue of what it was that made her the heroine she became. This is a FINE un-used copy of the 1st./1st. thus with no visible faults AS NEW.*
