    On September 19, 1356, a heavily outnumbered English army faced off against the French in the historic Battle of Poitiers. In 1356, Cornwell resurrects this dramatic and bloody struggle - one that would turn out to be the most decisive and improbable victory of the Hundred Years' War, a clash where the underdog English not only the captured the strategic site of Poitiers, but the French King John II as well.

    Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

    This book is not an historical novel. It is absolute fiction. As fiction it is perhaps excellent. As history it is absolute b....


    If you’ve listened to books by Bernard Cornwell before, how does this one compare?

    Nope, never read or listened to another Bernard Cornwell book.


    What does Jack Hawkins bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

    I would seek more books read by Jack Hawkins, his presentation is excellent.


    If this book were a movie would you go see it?

    OK, I would probably go see the movie as an adventure/ action film. As an accurate portrayal of history it would be a waste of time.


    Any additional comments?

    Well read, well written, total time waster.
