Dust jacket notes: "Few stories are more exciting than that of Martin Luther, the great reformer of world history. At the risk of his life he cried out against the abuses within the Roman Catholic Church and led the way to the formation of the Protestant churches, changing tremendously the lives of nations and of individuals. Fond of learning, music, and fun Martin Luther's decision to become a monk startled his family. But it was his defiance of the pope that put his life in constant danger. He faced trial before deadly enemies. He was kidnaped and carried off to live in a lonely castle, disguised as a knight. He daily threatened with death by fire. Yet fearlessly and joyfully he pursued his high aims and lived a full, robust life besides. May McNeer's dramatic text and Lynd Ward's magnificent pictures, both based on sound research, combine to make a fascinating, important book."
