One of England's most dramatic victories, the battle of Agincourt is more than just history; it was immortalized by Shakespeare in "Henry V." The greatest writer of historical adventures today ("Washington Post") tackles this most thrilling and rich subject.
I thought I had a good sense of the Battle of Agincourt as I'm big fan of the Kenneth Branagh movie of Shakespeare's Henry V, but this novel really explained what led up to the battle. It also did it in such a way that I never lost interest - historical fiction at its best. The narrator, Charles Keating, was wonderful (of course, he played a great villian on Another World many years ago!).
