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.
