Immortalized by Shakespeare, Agincourt is an epic of courage and hard fighting. Brought to bay after the long siege of Harfleur, Henry V's army was soaked, starving and riddled with disease, and facing a French army at odds of more than 3 to 1. How the English beat off their attackers and slaughtered the flower of French nobility is vividly described in this volume.

By
This review is from: Agincourt 1415 (Trade Editions) (Paperback)
If you want a solid, account of the Hundred Years' War most celebrated battle, well, you can't do any better than this. Mr. Bennet gives the reader solid information on the English and French leadership and Armies. The accompanying illustrations are helpful. This is typical of the Osprey series, a slim volume, packed with information.
