There are plenty of histories of the Hundred Years' War (which includes the Battle of Agincourt, covered so comprehensively in Bernard Cornwell's magnificent Agincourt) but Peter Hoskins's new book opens up new information on the strategies and planning of the opposing forces. The illustrations and photographs are of particular interest.

The author has describe compellingly the processes, the motives, the techniques and the technologies, including the early use of gunpowder, to deliver stone and metal shot to the enemy walls to create breaches through which the attackers would gain entry to the town or castle. Good insight into the strategy and tactics employed and graphic accounts of key sieges. Essential reading for all those with an interest in Medieval history, the protracted Anglo-French conflict, and the art of siege warfare. The information is also applicable to those interested in other periods and wars because it brings to a climax the warfare developed in ancient history and holds lessons for any fixed defences employed since Medieval times.

This is a well constructed book that places the set piece battles such as Agincourt and Crecy as the unusual events in the context of the Hundred Years War. Besiegement was by far the most active occupation for both sides and this book documents the progress of the sieges. It also remarks the change dictated by the increased capability and firepower of cannon which eventually rendered the traditional castle fortifications redundant and ushered in the era of Vauban. Excellent maps and photographs support the narrative.
