Crispin's Day - The Glory of Agincourt

Collins, 1979. Good second-hand condition.

A small English expeditionary force in Northern France battling to reach the coast before being cut off by an enemy superior in numbers and equipment; a victory plucked from the jaws of certain-seeming defeat - this story is familiar in the 20th century. It is also the story of Agincourt in the 15th century. Richly illustrated from contemporary sources, this account of a glorious moment of English history is notable for his lively narrative, careful research and illuminating detail.
