Agincourt was an astonishing clash of arms, a pivotal moment in the
Hundred Years War and the history of warfare in general.
King Henry V's exhausted troops were preparing for certain defeat as
they faced a far larger French army. What was to take place in the
following 24 hours, it seemed only the miraculous intervention of God
could explain.
Interlacing eyewitness accounts, background chronicle and documentary
sources with a new interpretation of the battle's onset, acclaimed
military historian Michael Jones takes the reader into the heart of this
extraordinary feat of arms.
