History of War

Fascinating to read.

Although billed as an alternative history, this book presents a detailed historical study of many pivotal moments during the War, giving highly plausible alternatives to events which could so easily have taken a different direction. Firmly grounded within a historical framework, they present a fascinating insight into what might have been, and serve to remind us on what small events the course of history can be balanced.

Timothy Venning is a historian who is fascinated by 'what ifs' and near misses, by those moments when events hung in the balance, and he seeks to explore all the alternatives. This book is part of a series that shows just how many turning points there have been in British history. The Hundred Years War covers a much shorter period than The Anglo Saxon Age but there are so many turning points that lend themselves to alternative scenarios, whether untimely deaths, such as that of the Black Prince before he could become king, or Henry V in his prime, and close-run battles such as Poitiers and Agincourt, as well as the remarkable arrival on the scene of Joan of Arc. Both books are full of fascinating arguments and alternatives and ideal for anyone who sees history as a source of intelligent argument.

The Good Book Guide

The fascinating aspect of 'what if' is that one small change could create a major change in fortune, but it would have also triggered a series of other changes that could give back a lost advantage. The author has provided much food for thought. This is a book that all enthusiasts of Medieval Europe should read, but it also applies to students of later history and consideration of the future of Britain in relation to Europe, demonstrating how the loss of the Hundred Years War, and divorce from Europe, created a much greater future for Britons.
