Short Review: a classic biography of Francis and how he changed the church. This is more than just a biography (in fact the main complaint is that Chesterton probably does not spend enough time on biographical details). It is an assessment of the Catholic church (and to some extent the state of the world) during Francis' lifetime. This is in the public domain so free ebook copies are available.
