Azincourt

This book is an extraordinary and dramatic depiction of the legendary battle of Agincourt, from the number one historical novelist, Bernard Cornwell. Agincourt, fought on October 25th 1415, St Crispin's Day, is one of England's best-known battles; Bernard Cornwell's Agincourt is a vivid, breathtaking and meticulously well-researched account of this momentous battle and its aftermath. From the varying viewpoints of nobles, peasants, archers, and horsemen, Azincourt skilfully brings to life the hours of relentless fighting, the desperation of an army crippled by disease and the exceptional bravery of the English soldiers.
