Dan Jones, The Sunday Times Magazine

It's quite a feat to write an account of England's most famous battle that makes the reader feel like they're experiencing history that is fresh, new and exhilarating.

Dan Snow

Bold and conversational, forensic and vivid, this is an extraordinary history of Agincourt - full of remarkable insight - that grips from the very first word and doesn't let go.

Helen Castor, author of 'She-Wolves'

Michael Livingston continues to overturn centuries of scholarship, redefining some of the world's most celebrated battles. Coupling ironclad scholarship with a breakneck narrative, Livingston cuts new historical ground.

Myke Cole, author of 'Legion versus Phalanx' and 'The Bronze Lie'

A thought provoking, thoughtful and fast-paced account of what one might think is one of the best known and understood medieval battles. Despite what we think we know, from reading Livingston's detailed book, it is clear that we aren't really sure we even know exactly where this famous battle was fought!
