SHORTLISTED FOR THE 2024 HISTORICAL WRITERS' ASSOCIATION NON-FICTION
CROWN AWARD 'It's quite a feat to write an account of England's most
famous battle that makes the reader feel like they're experiencing
history that is fresh, new and exhilarating.' Dan Snow This
groundbreaking study by Mike Livingston, as featured on History Hit's
Agincourt, presents a new interpretation of Henry V's great victory.
From Shakespeare's 'band of brothers' speech to its appearances in
numerous films, Agincourt rightfully has a place among a handful of
conflicts whose names are immediately recognized around the world.
Renowned medieval historian Mike Livingston provides a new look at
this famous battle, with a foreword by world famous historic novelist
Bernard Cornwell. Agincourt takes us back to the original sources,
including the French battle plan that still survives today, to give a
new interpretation, one that challenges the traditional site of the
battlefield itself. It is a thrilling new history that not only
rewrites the battle as we know it, but also provides fresh insights
into the men who fought and died there.
