Synopsis

On 25 October 1415, a trapped and vastly-outnumbered force of exhausted and demoralised English archers and men-at-arms faced a colossal army of French knights on a desolate field in northern France. What took place that day became one of the greatest moments of the Hundred Years War and English history. Based on chronicles of the times, Agincourt 1415: Field of Blood is a dramatic, minute-by-minute retelling of the battle as seen through the eyes of the commanders and soldiers on both sides. This is a brutal, bloody and captivating retelling of a major British victory written by a Pulitzer Price finalist This work sets a new standard for historical fiction.

Una dintre cele mai importante bătălii din războiul de 116 ani dintre Anglia, Franța și părți ale Franței (perioada a coincis cu un război civil francez) este, pentru englezi, bătălia de la Agincourt, din 1415. Paradoxal, pentru francezi este o notă de subsol, fiind tratată ca o mică poticneală pe d......more

Goodreads review by Cassandra on June 26, 2020

I realized when I started reading this that I have read very few historical fiction books just because the few I have read weren't very good. This is the total opposite. Not only was it well written and had you frantically flipping through to know what happened next, but it also set up a very strang......more
