Description
“Agincourt is classic Cornwell…[with] attention to historical detail, well-paced action, and descriptive writing that is a pleasure to read.”
—Boston Globe
Bernard Cornwell, the New York Times bestselling “reigning king of historical fiction” (USA Today), tackles his most thrilling, rich, and enthralling subject yet—the heroic tale of Agincourt. The epic battle immortalized by William Shakespeare in his classic 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.”

5By lmathesorrGreat book! My second time reading this book. Bernard Cornwell's Books are impossible to put down! My only regret his he just does not write them as quickly as I can read them.Good, but definitely could've been better
3By YermomsfavoriteI'm a long time reader/fan of Cornwell's work, and was really looking forward to picking up Agincourt after being more than a little disappointed by Sword Song, his previous release. Agincourt was definitely a step up in comparison, but I would've been happier with a little more character development, possibly either making the book itself a little longer to allow for more, or possibly even stretching it over 2+ books. I felt a little like I already got the better version of the story in the Grail Quest series he previously authored...
