Book: Henry V and the Battle that Made England: Agincourt by Juliet Barker

Barker, Juliet. Henry V and the Battle that Made England: Agincourt. 978-0-316-01503-5 (2005).

A fast-paced and lucid account of the Battle of Agincourt. Full of the anecdotes that make histories such as these a true pleasure to read, Ms. Barker gets at much of Henry V's personality and its impact on the outcome of the battle itself. A fascinating sojourn in an age of chivalry, as the medieval stumbled toward its end and the modern world began. Recommended.
