Book Description: Michael Livingston, professor of military history at the Citadel, will speak at our 2026 Salon de Jeanne d'Arc Oct. 3. SHORTLISTED FOR THE 2024 HISTORICAL WRITERS' ASSOCIATION NON-FICTION CROWN AWARD. This groundbreaking study by Mike Livingston, as featured on History Hit's Agincourt , presents a new interpretation of Henry V's great victory. From Shakespeare's 'band of brothers' speech to its appearances in numerous films, Agincourt rightfully has a place among a handful of conflicts whose names are immediately recognized around the world. Renowned medieval historian Mike Livingston provides a new look at this famous battle, with a foreword by world famous historic novelist Bernard Cornwell. Agincourt takes us back to the original sources, including the French battle plan that still survives today, to give a new interpretation, one that challenges the traditional site of the battlefield itself. It is a thrilling new history that not only rewrites the battle as we know it, but also provides fresh insights into the men who fought and died there.
