Bernard Cornwell, the data-redactor-tag=""em"">New York Times bestselling “reigning king of historical fiction"" (data-redactor-tag=""em"">USA Today), tackles his most thrilling, rich, and enthralling subject yet—the heroic tale of data-redactor-tag=""em"">Agincourt. The epic battle immortalized by William Shakespeare in his classic data-redactor-tag=""em"">Henry V is the background for this breathtaking tale of heroism, love, devotion, and duty from the legendary author of the Richard Sharpe novels and the Saxon Tales. This extraordinary adventure will captivate from page one, proving once again and most powerfully, as author Lee Child attests, that “nobody in the world does this stuff better than Cornwell.""

excellent, but lots of blood and guts

This was a great story. The performance was delightful. I would just say it's got pretty graphic descriptions of violence.

One of the best books I have ever read

This is an excellent read. First book I have read by Cornwell but won't be the last

What was one of the most memorable moments of Agincourt?

The final battle

Captivated me from start to finish!

A story so well told I didn't want to put it away. Definitely recommend this for a relaxing weekend.

great story, intrusive music

I loved the writing and the reading. I hate the music, found it intrusive

Worth every minute

This is my second time through this book, and it was just as gripping as the first time. I’m neither French nor English, so the fictional characters and events were helpful in keeping my interest until the famous battle. Now that I know more about the background, I’m looking forward to reading the sources cited at the end. The music is distracting and unnecessary, but thankfully not excessive. Aside from that the performance is excellent.
