Uncover the chilling history of one of the darkest episodes in European history. The Massacre of St. Bartholomew, by historian Henry White, explores the intense religious tensions in 16th-century France that culminated in the horrific slaughter of thousands of Huguenots in Paris and beyond during August 1572.
This volume not only provides a detailed narrative of the massacre itself but also presents the complex backdrop of political maneuvering, religious extremism, and royal influence that led to this tragic event. Through meticulous research and vivid storytelling, White paints a gripping picture of a nation torn by faith and power during the reign of Charles IX.
This essential work is a must-read for history enthusiasts, scholars, and anyone interested in the turbulent history of religious conflict in Europe.
