MY STORY: Agincourt

The next several books are Tudor and will be put in one or possibly two reviews, so I figured I'd pop Agincourt in here first.

I like these older war books better than more modern ones. Things were so much more basic back then with archers vs. other archers, early siege stuff, knights, etc.

Agincourt tells the story of Henry V's miraculous win over French troops even though he had way less men on his side, men who were starving, sick and exhausted.

The most interesting bit for me is that the majority of the archers, who were like 80% of the English army, were boys from 12-17.

It's a good book. A war book, but a good war book.
