Agincourt A New History
As night fell in Picardy on Thursday 24 October 1415, Henry V and his English troops, worn down by their long march and diminished by
dysentery, can little have dreamt that the battle of the next day would give them one of the most complete victories ever won.
`Brilliant... a tour de force that will remain the definitive account of the battle for years to come' ALISON WEIR
`Overturns a host of assumptions about this most famous of English victories, and does so with impeccable use of primary sources. This is the book on the battle.' RICHARD HOLMES
`A highly distinguished and convincing account of one of the decisive battles of the Western world.' CHRISTOPHER HIBBERT
`Based on unequalled knowledge of the sources... thoroughly readable.' THE TIMES LITERARY SUPPLEMENT
`Anne Curry is the
first academic to untangle the true extent of Henry's victory in 1415.' THE SUNDAY TIMES `An impeccably researched account... argues that there were more English soldiers present and fewer French, the numbers having been exaggerated by Henry V's propagandists. This is deeply controversial... the result of a lifetime immersed in study of this most mythologised of English victories.' BBC HISTORY MAGAZINE, Books of the Year 2005 `A fine book... has done Henry V and his troops proud.' PROFESSOR MICHAEL PRESTWICH `At the cutting edge of medieval military history.' PROFESSOR GARY SHEFFIELD
