The Characters of the Inquisition

In Characters of the Inquisition, historian William Thomas Walsh examines the notable figures connected with the Inquisition through detailed biographical sketches, approaching the search of truth for the sake of truth itself rather than reinforcing long-held prejudices. Walsh presents a balanced analysis of these men, their motivations, and their impact on nations and world events, showing that inquisitors often brought calm and order to the most volatile of situations, in the most trying of times, while examining the institution critically.
