.A Brief History of the Hundred Years War: The English in France, 1337-1453
City Travel Guides > Books > Hundred Years War
by: Desmond Seward

March 01, 2003
An excellent book that teaches history as if it were an adventure. Yes its a brief view but packs so much punch. Edward 3rd, Henry V, the Black Prince, Crecy, Agincourt, Poitiers and so much more. Speaks many volumes as to the growth of the two main protagonists interwoven with peoples whose identity has long been engulfed by modern geography.
An excellent read and a good book.

.The Hundred Years War: Trial by Fire v. 2
City Travel Guides > Books > Hundred Years War
by: Jonathan Sumption

October 22, 2001
Sumtion's treatment of the 100 years war brings to life a period of history which is frequently dissected by UK students into just the three major pitched battle victories of Crecy, Poitiers and Agincourt. This overlooks the complexity of fourteenth century French regional and national politics and the many twists and turns which characterised this protracted conflict. This book, along with the equally excellent predecessor, puts that right with some considerable flair. The story is alive with memorable characters who are brought vividly to life in a narrative history which commbines admirable scholarship with a fluid and very readable style. Shelby Foote set the standard of narrative history in his three volume study of the American Civil war and Sumption ... Read More:

.The Hundred Years War: England and France at War C.1300-c.1450 (Cambridge Medieval Textbooks): England and France at War C.1300-c.1450 (Cambridge Medieval Textbooks)
City Travel Guides > Books > Hundred Years War
by: Christopher Allmand

February 04, 1988
Medieval society accepted war as part of life, Allmand writes as much in the first chapter of his book: "It was part of the divine plan, linked with famine, flood and plague as a manifestation of God's punishment for sins committed." It was part of the natural order and as such armed conflicts were a common enough feature of medieval life. There are few such conflicts however, which enjoy the fame that the Hundred Years War presently does. Today, it is one of the most famous, most notable conflicts in the history of both England and France, being studied intricately by experts and popular among ordinary people as well. So much so in fact, that certain events and themes are now the subject of national legend on both sides of the Channel. For example, the stories of Joan ... Read More:

.The Hundred Years War: Trial by Battle v. 1
City Travel Guides > Books > Hundred Years War
by: Jonathan Sumption

August 23, 1999
Trial by Battle is even more capivating than Trial by FIre. Sumption's text is a dream to follow, always engaging and thoroughly human. While I have always been interested in the Hundred Years War I had never really appreciated the depths to which the French crown had sunk, a catastophe to equate with many modern day disaster areas..
