War Cruel and Sharp

English Strategy Under Edward III, 1327-1360

Beschreibung

Contemporaries considered Edward III of England "the wisest and shrewdest warrior in the world": by 1360 the English, at the beginning of his reign considered "inferior to the wretched Scots", had become the foremost martial nation of Europe, winning famous victories against the odds at Dupplin Moor, Halidon Hill, Crécy and Poitiers. Cilfford Rogers offers a thoroughly reassessment of the military and political strategies which Edward III and the Black Prince employed to achieve this astounding result.
