That’s been sitting on my bookshelf for too long now. I need to pull it down and read it.

Bernard Cornwell is the best at writing accurate yet interesting history so the average person will follow what is going on.

Agincourt is written from the perspective of one of the English long bowman who tells the story from a first person point of view. It makes the story more interesting and believable.

History buffs will love it. How the much smaller English troops pick the battlefield to their advantage and use it and the conditions to defeat a much larger, superior French force is one of the best battle scenes ever written.

Cornwell's well-researched tome is very accurate. The reader can literally smell the odors and hear the sounds of the troops up close in hand-to-hand combat as they literally battle for their very lives.
