This astonishing book fixes the myth of Agincourt and adds to our understanding of what led to that slaughteryard of horrors, atrocities, and, for at least one side, unforgettable glories.

Bernard Cornwell, bestselling author of The Last Kingdom series

It’s quite a feat to write an account of England’s most famous battle that makes the reader feel like they’re experiencing history that is fresh, new and exhilarating.

Dan Snow

Bold and conversational, forensic and vivid, this is an extraordinary history of Agincourt - full of remarkable insight - that grips from the very first word and doesn’t let go.

Helen Castor, author of 'She-Wolves'

Michael Livingston continues to overturn centuries of scholarship, redefining some of the world’s most celebrated battles. Coupling ironclad scholarship with a breakneck narrative, Livingston cuts new historical ground.

Myke Cole, author of 'Legion versus Phalanx' and 'The Bronze Lie'

A thought provoking, thoughtful and fast-paced account of what one might think is one of the best known and understood medieval battles. Despite what we think we know, from reading Livingston’s detailed book, it is clear that we aren’t really sure we even know exactly where this famous battle was fought!

Robert Woosnam-Savage FSA, Curator Emeritus, Royal Armouries

The battle of Agincourt has had many interpretations. Michael Livingston’s is the latest, but also one of the best … It tells a fresh, compelling story of the battle, the campaign that led up to it, and its aftermath.

Kelly Devries, Professor of History, Loyola University Maryland

An innovative historical reinterpretation…<i>Agincourt</i> is an exciting retelling of the battle of Agincourt that brings forth new information about a topic believed to have been long since settled.
