A most holy war
Book • 2007
In *A Most Holy War*, Mark Gregory Pegg provides a gripping narrative of the Albigensian Crusade, a pivotal moment in world history where Christians were promised salvation for killing other Christians.
The book challenges traditional views of the crusade, arguing that it was not specifically against the Cathars but part of a broader fear of heresy within Christendom.
Pegg draws on testimonies from inquisitors to vividly portray the brutal nature of this conflict.
