The Perfect Heresy : The Revolutionary Life and Death of the Medieval Cathars by Stephen O'Shea

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


This book contains the notes, selected biography and index that reflect the amount of scholarship that went into the writing of this book. The narrative is compelling enough to read all of the book. If you are only interested in why Languedoc-Rossillon tourisme says, Bienvenue en Pays Cathare, then reading the introduction and epilogue may be sufficient to separate history from souvenir-vendor hype.
