Title: An Excellent History -- and an engrossing read
Product review: After being disappointed with the History Channel documentary on this subject, I searched Amazon.com for a factual treatment of the subject, and this was the book I chose.The book is a compilation of the original source documents concerning the Beast and the efforts that were taken to hunt it down. Not only can one trace the activities of government both local and crown to bring an end to this tragedy, but one can also see how people's opinions changed over the course of time as to the nature of La Bete.The book reads like a detective novel, and is hard to put down.After having read the book, I had a clear sense of what the Beast of Gevaudan was, and why it was so elusive.I'd suggest that anyone interested in the subject start their investigation with this book.
