The Wars of Religion in France 1559-1576: The Huguenots, Catherine de Medici and Philip II
Description
Thompson's meticulous account of France's religious civil wars reveals how political ambition, theological conviction, and family scheming created cycles of violence that tore a nation apart—a history that illuminates how easily civilized societies spiral into sectarian conflict. The machinations of Catherine de Medici show power operating through intelligence and patience rather than force.
