Amazon USA hasn't even made it available as a pre-order. <br /><br />Juliet Barker's book on Agincourt came out slightly after Curry's. The contrast was marked. Curry's book was a re-thinking of Agincourt and Barker's book, while good, was quite conventional. I think she's in the conventional biz. <br /><br />KevinKevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02020765725198018916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1947040025439354581.post-39101016958159876982009-10-22T15:12:45.302-07:002009-10-22T15:12:45.302-07:00Hi Darrell,

It follows a narrative of events so far and there doesn't appear to be any sections tackling specific topics. All the book is based on published sources, so they'll be nothing new and I think Barker is 'filling a gap' with this book, not looking for new insight. So useful reference etc for £12 on Amazon. From military view, very little on battles, just the briefest content so far.<br />Reading about all the seiges has led me to think that there's a gap in study on Henry's artillery - assuming documents are extant?<br />Hope this helps?<br />Cheers.paintermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07649916816073878873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1947040025439354581.post-14156474563498989732009-10-19T02:12:21.148-07:002009-10-19T02:12:21.148-07:00Simon,
