Summary: Draws upon eyewitness accounts of Joan's military colleagues
Review: Joan Of Arc: The Warrior Saint by freelance researcher and biographer Stephen W. Richey offers an informed and unique presentation of the life and accomplishments of the "warrior maid" who successfully led the French against the British, only to be betrayed into the hands of the enemy and ultimately burned at the stake for heresy. Richey draws upon eyewitness accounts from Joan's military colleagues as well as his own military experience to reveal not just what Joan was able to accomplish in the brief course of her military service, but to just how she accomplished what she did on the battlefields of Medieval France. Joan Of Arc: The Warrior Saint is one of the very best biographies of this most singular young woman written to date.

Summary: Military point of view
Review: The author has battlefield and military experience that is valuable to explain the what and how of Joan's military campaigns..The reasons for her military success on the battlefield is detailed with greater authority than Kelly Devries book Joan Of Arc A Military Leader..More precise and interesting..The book is a good read.
