Review:

"A comprehensive biography of Becket that dazzles from its complexity and the dexterous way it weighs and juggles each twelfth-century account over and against the others. . . . A standard for future Becket studies."--W. Trent Foley, "Journal of Religion

The horror of Thomas Archbishop of Canterbury’s brutal murder by knights of King Henry II transfigured him into one of the most popular saints in Western Christendom. “Now we have the best biography we are ever likely to have: I regard it as definitive” A.L. Rowse, Sunday Times
