Two bird's eye views of the battlefield, and several colour plates enliven this campaign study. It is clear and gives a logical review of the evidence by Monstrelet. to no one's great surprize, Shakespeare is not a reliablre guide to the battle. The plan of Harfleur and the description of that seige are of interest. ( ) The current redesigned cover on LibraryThing has been given a more professional look. My copy has the charming cut-and-paste feeling of the earliest Osprey campaign booklets. Nevertheless, this title has all the features of a good Osprey title. Lavish illustrations, good maps and a comprehensible text with a good analysis of the players, the strategy and tactics. I especially liked the illustrated English and French heraldic shields. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

Agincourt is one of the most evocative names in English military history. Henry V's forces were tired, hungry, and faced a French army three to six times more numerous. However, they possessed several advantages, and English success resulted from the combination of heavily armoured men-at-arms with troops armed with the infamous longbow the havoc this weapon wreaked was crucial. Using original fifteenth century evidence, including the surviving French battle plan and the accounts of men present in both armies, Matthew Bennett discusses the lead-up to the battle, the tactical dispositions of the two forces and the reasons for the ultimate English success.
