I Loved It

Overall, a good telling of the battle that led the way to modern England and France, including their unending hatred that only subsided at the end of the 19th century. There is also a very good compilation to further study the 100 Years War in more detail.

Lovely

The author writes with a strong voice, rarely flagging presumptions or results as such. Care must be taken to cross-reference his discussion where it differs from the narration of a set of factual events.

I Recommend It

This book is unquestionably one of those short and sweet examples when it comes to non-fiction. It provides you just enough knowledge for you to get a grip on the whole condition but not too much to make you feel smothered.

Extremely Good

This book offers a quick and reasonably short summary of what must have been one of the worst periods of European history. Battle after battle, siege after siege, French and British killed each other mercilessly for the command over the sources of France, the whole time under a code of practice that today we have great difficulty in understanding.

Enlightening

This is a good initiation to the period and provides a firm basis for interpreting the subsequent events of the War of the Roses and the rise of the House of Tudor.
