The Battle of Agincourt is one of the turning points in the Hundred Years' War between England and France. Exhausted by the long march, hunger and disease, the English army was at least five times outnumbered by the enemy. The French firmly intended to stop the army of Henry V on the approaches to Calais and, with superior forces, exterminate the invaders. But the outcome of the battle was unpredictable - victories are truly achieved not by numbers, but by skill. In the center of the unequal battle is a simple English archer, Nicholas Hook, ready to fight for his king to the last. It is only thanks to the martial art, discipline and personal valor of such soldiers that the most brilliant victories in history are achieved. This exciting novel about the war is a magnificent literary reconstruction, one of the best creations of Bernard Cornwell, author of the recognized world bestsellers of the Saxon Chronicles series, novels about the gunslinger Richard Sharpe and many other books. For the first time in Russian!
