Edmund Campion: Jesuit and Martyr by Evelyn Waugh
4.0
Wonderfully written, with novelistic flair rather than biographical rigour. It does assume quite a familiarity with 16thC and the fun to be had when different groups of bloody-minded, self-righteous religious zealots take turns persecuting, torturing, and killing each other in excruciating ways to please their ever-loving god. Still, at least we've outgrown such medieval bickering over religion and dogma.
