Dr. Michael Livingston teaches the military and cultural history of the Middle Ages at The Citadel, the Military College of South Carolina. He recently co-authored the textbook reader Medieval Warfare, and future works include books on the battles of Hastings and Shrewsbury. These add to previous books The Battle of Crécy: A Casebook, winner of the 2017 Distinguished Book Award from the Society for Military History, and Never Greater Slaughter: Brunanburh and the Birth of England (Osprey, 2021).Like Crécy itself, this book is a triumph and the tale it tells gives an old story new life.

There are master conflict analysts. There are master storytellers. There are master historians. Only once in a lifetime do you find all three skills at the highest level in a single person. <i>Crécy: Battle of Five Kings</i> is what you get when that person writes a book.
- Myke Cole, author of 'Legion versus Phalanx' and 'The Bronze Lie',
