In bold living colours Belloc sketches 23 famous men and women of the Reformation period, analysing 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.
He describes the characters and deeds of real people, tracing the results of their greed, lust, tenacity, blindness, fear and – in the case of St Thomas More – heroic Catholic constancy.
