The epic battle of Agincourt (October 25, 1415) is more than history: it?s legend. Immortalized by Shakespeare as the centerpiece for his play, Henry V, it marks one of the most dramatic English victories ever. Bernard Cornwell has long wanted to write the battle - and here, with dazzling success, he finally has. Using characters based on the actual historical heroes, Cornwell brings to vivid, bloody life the gritty battle and the key deployment of Henry V?s secret weapon, the English longbowmen. Our hero, Nicholas Hook, a great warrior once imprisoned for marrying a forbidden woman, leads the few, the yeoman of England, to triumph over their French adversaries. Steeped in impeccably researched detail of the French countryside, the torrential rain and mud, of the sickness among the soldiers and their fear of the overwhelming enemy facing them, Agincourt captures the courage, the stoicism, and the sheer bloody mindedness of the fighting man. This is the book that will -at last- make Bernard Cornwell a household name.
