Bloomsbury presents Crécy by Michael Livingston, read by Rupert Farley.

Like Crécy itself, this book is a triumph and the tale it tells gives an old story new life.’- Bernard Cornwell, bestselling author of The Last Kingdom series

A groundbreaking new study of the battle of Crécy, in which the outnumbered English under King Edward III won a decisive victory over the French and changed the course of the Hundred Years War.

The battle of Crécy in 1346 is one of the most famous and widely studied military engagements in history. The repercussions of this battle were felt for hundreds of years, and the exploits of those fighting reached the status of legend. Yet cutting-edge research has shown that nearly everything that has been written about this dramatic event may be wrong.

In this new study, Michael Livingston reveals how modern scholars have used archived manuscripts, satellite technologies and traditional fieldwork to help unlock what was arguably the battle’s greatest secret: the location of the now quiet fields where so many thousands died.

Crécy: Battle of Five Kings is a story of past and present. It is a new history of one of the most important battles of the Middle Ages: a compelling narrative account of the battle of Crécy that still adheres to the highest scholarly standards in its detail. It is also an account that incorporates the most cutting-edge revelations and the personal story of how those discoveries were made.©2022 Michael Livingston (P)2022 Bloomsbury Publishing PLC

Recensioni della critica

Like Crécy itself, this book is a triumph and the tale it tells gives an old story new life. (Bernard Cornwell, bestselling author of The Last Kingdom series)
Original, insightful and revelatory – Michael Livingston has once again transformed the way we think about one of the great battles of the Middle Ages. An indispensable guide for anyone interested in Crécy and the Hundred Years War. (Dan Jones, New York Times and Sunday Times bestselling author of 'The Plantagenets' and 'Powers and Thrones')
There are master conflict analysts. There are master storytellers. There are master historians. Only once in a lifetime do you find all three skills at the highest level in a single person. Crécy: Battle of Five Kings is what you get when that person writes a book. (Myke Cole, author of 'Legion versus Phalanx' and 'The Bronze Lie')
Fascinating and engaging, and told with clear passion for the subject, Crécy: Battle of Five Kings is not to be missed.
This is an enjoyable and informative read.
