Characters of the Reformation

Characters of the Reformation by Hilaire Belloc Characters of the Reformation may well be the most universally fascinating book ever written by the great Catholic historian, Hilaire Belloc. Here in bold, living colors he sketches 23 famous men and women of the Reformation period, analyzing their strengths, weaknesses, mistakes and motives and pinpointing deeds that changed the course of history. There are more than a few surprises here, as Belloc often puts the real responsibility for the Reformation on persons not usually appreciated by history.
