The Real History Behind The Davinci Code

Dan Brown's bestselling thriller, THE DA VINCI CODE, has raised considerable controversy concerning the factual basis behind the fictional story. Several people have written books that, generally from a religious perspective, attack or defend that basis. Medieval historian and historical fiction writer Sharan Newman does neither; rather, she addresses the most prevalent questions about THE DA VINCI CODE in an impartial, secular fashion, providing A-to-Z information, illustrated by photos, about the key historical figures and locations in the book.
