She was a shining savior on a warhorse, waving her white banner and calling her soldiers forth to victory; but she was also painfully and intensely human, a young girl who wept and bled just the same as the rest of us. In the same breath, it is as easy to relate to Joan as it is to be awed by her incredible character. She may have been beatified as a saint, but Joan of Arc was in many ways a very ordinary human being, a person who felt pain and fear, a person who made mistakes, and who had moments of weakness.

This mesmerizing narrative draws on contemporary accounts as it traces the roots of the explosion that had been building for decades in race relations, politics, business, and clashes of culture.

Manche singen eine Ode an alte Epochen. Andere sagen: "Naja. Was früher war, ist einfach nur eine von vielen Erinnerungen. Und wer weiß: vielleicht ja auch nur eine Erzählung?" Wie war das Leben unserer Eltern und Großeltern? Wie war es wirklich? Und was war damals historisch von Bedeutung?​ Funktioniert Opas altes Radio heute noch genauso so gut wie früher? Dann hat er Glück. Wenn nicht, dann werfen Sie es nicht gleich weg. Vieles kann man noch reparieren – zum Beispiel in einem Repaircafé.
