"One real strength of the book is that Roberts places her study of Troyes in the wider context of the provincial and national history of the wars and compares her findings in Troyes with what is known about wartime experience in other urban centers...An equally significant aspect of the book is Robert's examination of the Reformed church in Troyes and its congregation." Annette Finely-Croswhite, Sixteenth Century Journal
