The Battle of Agincourt
As in the trilogy by Thomas Hookton ( The Archer , The Stroller , The nemesis goes) is Cornwell in the Hundred Years War to accompany an archer. Was it mentioned in the trilogy about the events at the beginning of the war (the first event in this series dated 1342) will spin here all about the invasion of Henry V which culminated in the Battle of Agincourt in 1415. As in the Battle of Crecy mentioned in the trilogy is described as an English minority against a French superiority. But the English archers win the battle. So much for the general setup.
The story follows Nick Hook of after he hit a priest is an outlaw and to France hired. There, he survives the fall of Soissons and brings the word about the real reasons to Henry V of him is one of his closest confidants. Hook is working slowly but surely high in the hierarchy, and soon becomes the leader of a group of archers who repeatedly facing the greatest French general.
The book is written in good old-fashion Cornwell. Very vivid descriptions of people but also the battle scenes have drawn from Cornwell ever. His dedicated research makes him one of the most important contemporary writers of historical novels. And one can certainly return the book suggest any history lessons rather interesting in Stories want to enjoy packed.
And yet I read of Cornwell's better. The final acts executed smear piece to be finished in time. The person drawing Cornwell has done it better and more believable, and above all, he was this time not so many cynical comments incorporated, as in his great works of Arthur and Alfred series.Other reviews of Amazon Watch.
