       Inspired to aid the future King Charles VII, whose right 
       to the throne had been denied by the English in the 
       Hundred Years War, Joan of Arc made her journey clad in 
       male attire. Theologians testified to the veracity of her 
       divine claims, and she was furnished with a host of 
       troops. But how did she achieve the military feats that 
       made her a legend? Stephen W. Richey offers a unique look 
       at this remarkable woman. Joan of Are rapidly matured into
       a true battle commander who spoke forcefully in war 
       councils, made decisions, and gave orders that were obeyed
       -- resulting in a stunning series of victories for her 
       army. She achieved this feat by virtue of her unschooled 
       but intuitive genius for war, a charismatic personality 
       that inspired her soldiers to heroic feats, and her 
       ability to exploit a unique set of lucky circumstances. 
       Drawing on eyewitness accounts of Joan's comrades-in-arms 
       and the author's own military experience, Richey goes 
       beyond what Joan did in her amazing career, analyzing how 
       she performed her martial feats. The first study in 
       English to dig deeper into the mechanics of Joan's 
       military career, and the first English treatment by a 
       professional soldier with battle-field experience, this 
       vivid account explores Joan's achievements in winning the 
       loyalty of her men
