Personnage le plus célèbre de l'histoire de France, Jeanne d'Arc n'a cessé de fasciner. Biographie méticuleuse de celle qui fit irruption dans l'histoire en changeant le cours de la guerre de Cent Ans, fit couronner le roi et fut, captive des Anglais, condamnée au bûcher après un procès inique en 1431, ce livre raconte l'itinéraire extraordinaire de la jeune bergère de Domrémy. Il resitue Jeanne dans son contexte et brosse les portraits des principaux protagonistes de son histoire. Il livre également tous les éléments connus qui éclairent le mythe et les controverses qu'elle suscita, dont sa canonisation tardive et les polémiques contemporaines portent encore la trace. Cette biographie, devenue un classique, est ainsi l'ouvrage de référence sur Jeanne d'Arc.
