`Careful, original and wide-ranging study of many different aspects
of late medieval military history.' HISTORY The Hundred Years War
embraced warfare in all aspects, from the grand set pieces of Crecy
and Agincourt to the pillaged lands of the dispossessed population.
What makes this book different from previous studies emphasising
the great battles is its use of less familiar evidence, such as
administrative records and landscape archaeology, to gain a truer
picture of the realities of medieval warfare. From a general review
of battle tactics, the book turns to examine (at points enlisting
computer analysis) a number of issues: the composition of the
English army, the management of affairs in Aquitaine, the response
in England at large to the war and the consequent propaganda and
hardship,and the impact of warfare on local communities. Close
study of surviving artefacts - weapons, fortifications - also
allows realistic assessments of military and naval experiences.
