Joan of Arc

By John A. Mooney

"Joan of Arc" recounts the remarkable life and legacy of one of history's most iconic figures. Born a peasant girl, Joan claimed divine guidance, leading the French army to several important victories during the Hundred Years' War. Her unwavering faith and military prowess inspired a nation and challenged the established order.

This biography explores Joan's early life, her visions, her role in the siege of Orl ans, and her eventual capture and trial for heresy. Despite facing relentless interrogation and political maneuvering, Joan remained steadfast in her convictions. Though burned at the stake in 1431, she was later exonerated and canonized as a saint, solidifying her place as a symbol of French nationalism and female empowerment. "Joan of Arc" examines the historical context of her life and the enduring impact of her story on art, literature, and popular culture.
