Product Description

Review

"Foreword by ROBERT HARDY (author of The Longbow) 'Follow the most lucid of minds into the dark nightmare of that famous victory, illuminated by some of the shining characters who were the cause and the centre of one of the greatest moments of our Island story'. 'Well illustrated and attempts to see the conflict from the perspectives of those who fought them' HISTORY TODAY."

Book Description

For many commentators, it was the English archers who won the day for Henry V. This new history tells the story of the battle and Henry V's Normandy campaign from the perspective of the reputed commander of the English archers, Sir Thomas Erpingham. Sir Thomas, an experienced warrior with military experience dating back 40 years, is known for his brief but pivotal appearances in Shakespeare's Henry V, where he is correctly portrayed as an elderly, white haired veteran. But what was his background? How did he command his archers to such a place in history? And what role did the longbow and battlefield tactics play in the victory? Copiously illustrated with reproductions of battle plans and rosters never before published, Anne Curry steers the reader through the history of the most important battle of the Hundred Years War from an entirely fresh perspective.

5.0 out of 5 stars Agincourt 1415: The Archers' Story, Jan 6 2009

By J. L. Mcfarlane "John McFarlane" - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Agincourt 1415: The Archers' Story (Paperback)

For anyone interested in the battle of Azincourt, this is most definitly a must. I found it most fascinating as I shoot longbow myself, and to read about what the archers of that period went through is quite something. A great boot, what more can I say.
