Purchase options and add-ons

Crecy, the Black Prince’s most famous victory, was the first of two major victories during the first part of the Hundred Years War. This was followed ten years later by his second great success at the Battle of Poitiers. The subsequent Treaty of Bretigny established the rights of the King of England to hold his domains in France without paying homage to the King of France.

In this hugely acclaimed military history Colonel Burne reestablishes the reputation of Edward III as a grand master of strategy, whose personal hand lay behind the success of Crecy. He convincingly demonstrates that much of the credit for Crecy and Poitiers should be given to Edward and less to his son, the Black Prince, than is traditionally the case.

With his vigorous and exciting style, Colonel Burne has chronicled for the general reader as well as for the military enthusiast, one of the most exceptional wars in which England has ever been engaged. This book firmly restores the Crecy campaign to its rightful place near the pinnacle of British military history.

‘A most important book – a work of original research, written by a master of his subject … A model of how history should be written, packed with accurate information and common sense.’
Sir Arthur Bryant in The Sunday Times

This is a very informative book. Very well researched and a tonic for the armchair historian. It wouldn't hurt some of the professionals to read it too.

An excellent read, just finished a biography on Edward III, and this book compliments that read with a more focused look at Edward's campaigns and battles.

I'm not a good book reviewer. Other people do it so much better. For what it's worth here's my view. Its hard going and not what I really expected. I was wanting more blood gore and guts and didn't get it. I wanted to know the life of the soldier from day to day. My fault I know but having read it I now know more than I did before I started. So a second read will be in order when I get the time.
