Reviews"A rich book, filled with detail and incident, yet never losing a sense of the overall sweep of events."-- Times Literary Supplement, "In a balanced and seamless presentation, the origins and first decade of the Hundred Years' War unfold before the reader."-- American Historical Review, A rich book, filled with detail and incident, yet never losing a sense of the overall sweep of events., "Without any doubt, this book immediately takes its place as the best available account of this phase of the war. . . . It is compulsively readable, in part the consequence of a lucid style and apt choice of detail, but mainly the result of a masterly overall grasp, acute judgment, fresh insight, and a compelling sense of immediacy that fully justifies the author's preference for a predominantly narrative approach. Throughout, there is a sense of a luminous intelligence working on the material."-- History, "Without any doubt, this book immediately takes its place as the best available account of this phase of the war. . . .
