A searing, insightful portrait of a one of the most enigmatic figures of the German Reformation

How did the son of a coin-maker from central Germany, Thomas Müntzer, rise in just a few short years to become one of the most feared revolutionaries in early modern Europe? Andrew Drummond charts the life and times of the man Martin Luther denounced as a 'Ravening Wolf' and 'False Prophet'. Far from the bloodthirsty devil of legend, he was a man of considerable learning and principle, deeply sympathetic to the misery of the peasantry and the poor.

Andrew Drummond is a historian, novelist and translator based in Edinburgh. He is the author of four novels and, more recently, a biography of the eighteenth-century adventurer Maurice Benyovszky, as well as an account of attempts to extend rail connections to the north-west Highlands of Scotland.
