Excellent depiction of the Battle of Agincourt

Ms. Jarman has written an extremely well researched book which details the events leading up to, the actual battle, and the aftermath of the engagement between the English and French at Agincourt during the Hundred Years War. This is but one of the three major defeats infilicted upon the French during the Hundred Years War. The book is highly readable and does not require an extensive foreknowledge of the historical period in order to be enjoyed. I highly recommend it to all students interested in the military history of the period.
