Narrator Rupert Farley will already be familiar to listeners of Bernard Cornwell's Sharpe novels. Here, Cornwell's laudatory introduction opens this meticulously factual reconstruction of the 1346 battle that ushered in the Hundred Years War. Military history thrives on detail--the weighing of sources, the correction of past error and misinterpretation. Farley's matter-of-fact, to-the-point delivery enhances these essentials with authority. His is the British voice of the seasoned guide who has trod this ground many times and knows it by heart, as it was then and is today. Previous historians have gotten a lot wrong about this pivotal battle--but here, you feel, is exactly what went down. D.A.W. © AudioFile 2022, Portland, Maine [Published: JUNE 2022]
