Description

"The best author of old activities nowadays" (Washington Post) discusses his wealthiest, most fascinating topic however: the brave story of Agincourt. Among the most remarkable wins in British history, the fight of Agincourt—immortalized by Shakespeare in Henry V—pitted confused and undermanned Language forces against a French military decided to maintain their overhead out-of Henry's fingers. Below Bernard Cornwell resurrects the tale of the fight and the "band of brothers" who struggled on that fateful October evening in 1415. An epic of payoff, Agincourt uses a commoner, a master, and a country's whole military on an unbelievable objective to check the will of God and recover what's truly theirs—an exciting tale of success and slaughter that's, at the same time, an excellent work of history and a success of creativity.
