Read this book in 2008, and this standalone book is a tremendous retelling about the ferocious Battle of Agincourt (french for Azincourt), by the author, Bernard Cornwell.
This story about the Battle of Agincourt is set before and on the 25th October AD 1415, St Crispin's Day, and of course its aftermath.
The story is historically very well researched and brought to us in a meticulously and breathtaking manner, that it will take you across that battlefield of chaos and bloodshed.
It was also the first battle won by the longbow for the English of King Henry V, a weapon that will dominate the rest of the Century.
All in all a gripping tale about a Battle fought by noblemen, peasants, horsemen and archers, and a one that was crippled with disease, and that was decided in the end with bravery of the highest kind by English soldiery.
Highly recommended, for this a fantastic retelling of one of the momentous events in history, and that's why I want to call this book: "A Wonderful Depiction Of Agincourt"!
