Azincourt
A great novel based on the real battle of Azincourt between the English and the French. This was a momentous and pivotal event between the two nations and Cornwell does an amazing job at portraying the events through the eyes of one soldier giving a far more personal and intimate view of the battle and the repercussions of the war. I love the style of Cornwell's writing, he is a master of historical fiction and in Azincourt he really captures the feel and atmosphere of the time as well as providing just enough fiction to provide a more personal touch and entice the read onwards. For those new to historical fiction this provides a riveting yet easy read and would be a great introduction at a bargain price, and for Cornwell fans this is a must read as a part of his collection. - Axel
