The St Bartholomew Massacre and France's Religious Wars
A critic reviews Henry White's History of the Massacre of St Bartholomew, praising its fair, moderate narrative and use of Simancas archives. It argues religious coercion by rulers harms liberty, notes Catherine de Medici as chief instigator, and profiles Charles IX as a weak, violent king influenced by politics and zealots.
