Writer and historian Dr Helen Castor explores the life - and death - of Joan of Arc. Joan was an extraordinary figure - a female warrior in an age that believed women couldn't fight, let alone lead an army. But Joan was driven by faith, and today more than ever we are acutely aware of the power of faith to drive actions for good or ill. 　　Since her death, Joan has become an icon for almost everyone - the left and the right, Catholics and Protestants, traditionalists and feminists. But where in all of this is the real Joan - the experiences of a teenage peasant girl who achieved the seemingly impossible? Through an astonishing manuscript, we can hear Joan's own words at her trial, and as Helen unpicks Joan's story and places her back in the world that she inhabited, the real human Joan emerges. 　　译文(3): 作家兼历史学家Helen Castor博士探讨了圣女贞德的生与死。贞德是一个非凡的人物，在一个认为女性不会战斗，更不用说领导军队的时代，她是一名女战士。但琼是由信仰驱动的，今天我们比以往任何时候都更加敏锐地意识到信仰的力量，它可以推动行动，无论是好是坏。
