Book Description
What is it like to be in battle? John Keegan, a senior instructor at Sandhurst, the British Military Academy, speaks for soldiers who were present in the fray.
For examples, Keegan selects Agincourt in 1415, Waterloo in 1815, and the Somme in 1916. What is common about them, what is different? Agincourt was hand-to-hand combat, thrust and cut--a fearful and personal encounter. At Waterloo, 400 years later, the battle was still largely personal. As it swayed back and forth, men on opposite sides came to recognize the same individuals they had fought off in previous charges.
Keegan closes his book with the Somme. For him it stands as the distillation of wars in the industrial age: long-distance killing of faceless men by others who merely activate the instruments of destruction.

Reads like a PhD Thesis.......2007-09-21
I have read many recent historical works of John Keegan including has book on WWI and the Price of Admiralty. I enjoyed them both. So, I was very disappointed when I tried to get into the Face of Battle. The language was so stilted, the use of commas and long run-on sentences going in differnet directions was so painful that I almost stopped reading it. The book has an excellent premise: how to describe three important battles in three very differnt centuries from the perspective of the soldiers actually doing the fighting rather than the 10,000 foot view employed by contemporary military historians who were not participants in the battle. Unfortunately, Keegen spends the first third of the book explaining what a good military historian (like himself) can or should do, focusing on the unique quality of British military historians (they are less biased because the wars were mainly fought on someone else's soil. The book improves as he gets into the battles of Agincourt, Waterloo and the Somme, but a good editor could have made this a much better read. I realize this book was written in 1978, so perhaps it was, at the time it was written, in line with Keegan's academic proclivities. Not a book I would recommend to anyone other than an academic.
Post Graduate Military History .......2007-05-06
THis work lives up to the highest academic standards that I have come to expect of Keegan.He provides new insights in three epic battles ,He wets your appetite for history ,he makes it real and interesting
A classic.......2006-11-23
Keegan puts you on the scene at Agincourt, Waterloo, and the Somme. One of the earliest departures from the bird's eye, general's view, The Face of Battle captures the battles from a physical, sensory, even biological perspective. Keegan creates a model for historians to assess the ebb and flux of the battle by providing an almost socratic approach to combat inquiry.
My personal favorite is the narration of Agincourt. In this battle, the author looks at the reality of whether bodies could pile up as high as they are reputed to have done along the line of contact. He examines the effectiveness of arrows and notes that at the range given the primary effect would have been to enrage the adversary's horses and not, as is often thought, to inflict casualties. Especially fascinating was the brutal crush of fellow soldiers pressing the forward ranks into the "funnel" created by the forest, which made anything other than forward movement nearly impossible. Similarly, he captures the mayhem created in the ranks by returning cavalry, after a failed charge. And let us not forget, it isn't very easy to relieve oneself in a full suit of plate, especially with dysentary!
Engrossing.......2006-11-12
A fine worm's eye view of battle. The author has painstakingly recreated what it was like for a soldier on the field of Agincourt, Waterloo and the battle of the Somme. It's a grand tutorial in basic tactics.
Mr. Keegan's Opus.......2006-10-06
This is the first work that I and most others discovered Mr. Keegan's great mind for military history. It is an overview of the evolution of warfare from the middle ages to the present but more than that it seeks to answer the question of what motivates the common soldier to fight instead of following his instinct to run. Mr. Keegan's admiration and adoption of the common soldier's lot is moving and commendable in itself. He brings out the hero in the common man and for that all us common men can thank him.
Book Description
From a master historian comes an astonishing chronicle of life in medieval Europe and the battle that altered the course of an empire.
Although almost six centuries old, the Battle of Agincourt still captivates the imaginations of men and women on both sides of the Atlantic. It has been immortalized in high culture (Shakespeare's Henry V) and low (the New York Post prints Henry's battle cry on its editorial page each Memorial Day). It is the classic underdog story in the history of warfare, and generations have wondered how the English--outnumbered by the French six to one--could have succeeded so bravely and brilliantly. Drawing upon a wide range of sources, eminent scholar Juliet Barker casts aside the legend and shows us that the truth behind Agincourt is just as exciting, just as fascinating, and far more significant. She paints a gripping narrative of the October 1415 clash between outnumbered English archers and heavily armored French knights. But she also takes us beyond the battlefield into palaces and common cottages to bring into vivid focus an entire medieval world in flux. Populated with chivalrous heroes, dastardly spies, and a ferocious and bold king, AGINCOURT is as earthshaking as its subject--and will confirm Juliet Barker's status as both a historian and a storyteller of the first rank.

Approachable History.......2007-09-15
Juliet Barkers' Agincourt: Henry V and the Battle that Made England is a one of those rare history books where the characters and context all come to life. Immensely readable and highly informative I recommend this book to anyone wishing to know more about the history of England and the English speaking peoples. The only negative comment would be that, on occasion, there is too much detail about minutia, usually minor characters. However, that is just a quibble. Overall I highly recommend this book.
Agincourt: Henry V and the Battle that Made England.......2007-06-07
This is a fabulous read. Showing a high degree of respect to her sources, Barker treats the subject with integrity - provides the historical facts while educating the reader on conflicting conclusions of other historians. She also shows how contemporary reactions differ from a more modern reading of history.
This book also provides good insights into dynastic change in England primarily, but also in France.
I couldn't believe how hard it was to put the book down.
History the way it should be written.......2007-06-04
This is an outstanding book that manages to do the seemingly impossible: It's a scholarly, heavily annotated study that is also fast-paced and exciting. It's literally a stay-up-late page-turner.
The book does require some "unlearning." That is, what most people know about the Battle of Agincourt is based on vague memories of Shakespeare's play or film versions. The real story is actually better and more exciting than those. The battle was not fought in isolation; Barker's book allows us to see and feel the complexities of the social, political, and military situation in Europe at the time of the battle, and these complexities require some unlearning of what most of us think we know about that time.
The political situation at the time was hellishly complex, and at the time of the battle, Henry V knew for a fact that he was not only King of England, but King of France, too. Of course, since his father had deposed Rickard II to become King, his claim rested on shaky ground. In addition, the King of France knew for a fact that he was King, though France was plunging into civil war at the time over that claim. In addition, everyone involved was convinced that God was on his side. In short, the pot was boiling when Henry V decided to invade France to assert his claim. The Battle of Agincourt was the culmination of the struggle.
The book is divided into thirds. The first third details-- and I mean DETAILS-- the background, describing the lines of succession, the political and economic institutions of the day, and the basis of chivalry. The second third details the battle, both in military terms and in human ones. This is one of the most vivid accounts of what it must have been like to be in combat then that I have ever read. The final third details the aftermath and the long-term effects of the battle.
Barker is an academic historian, and she is very careful to offer sources for her conclusions, particularly when they differ from popular thinking. But she doesn't let this get in the way of keeping her story moving. It's actually easy to forget that this is serious history, but the annotations are always there for the checking.
The one thing that would have improved the book for me would be more and better maps. The two that are included just don't have sufficient detail. The genealogy charts for the British and French royal families could have been more detailed, too. It can be a challenge to keep track of the various dukes, barons, etc.
This is an outstanding book. It will reward someone engaged in serious historical studies and someone who just wants to read more about the battle after seeing Kevin Branagh's Henry V. I recommend it very highly.
Excellent read.......2007-02-21
I cannot begin to imagine the difficulty in writing history that can be read easily. Authors who are able to do this have a special gift. I have bought many books over the years that are dry as dust and hard to chew. The author of this book does an excellent job in making the nitty gritty details stay alive and the pages easy to turn.
Agincourt: A great medieval battle in France leads Henry V of England to greatness.......2006-10-20
Agincourt is the lastest book by noted Bronte biographer Juliet Barker. Barker received her Ph.D. from Oxford in Medieval History; needless to say she is an expert on Agincourt!
Henry V (reigned 1413-1422) was the greatest warrior king in British history. His victory over his French enemies at Agincourt on Oct. 25, 1415
led to an overwhelming victory. High ransom paid for French hostages added to Henry's coffers; the fame of England's victory was celebrated
in minstrely, poems, songs and most famously in Shakespeare's history play Henry V. (Later made into a famous film by Laurence Olivier in 1944 as the British along with their allies were planning for the D-Day landings in France.
Barker is excellent in limning the characters of such renowned figures as Rauol de Gaucourt the gallant French soldier who defended the town of Harfleur until it was forced to surrender. He was later imprisoned in England. Henry V comes across as a pious, good king who could exert cruelty and diplomacy in equal measures in the governing of his kingdom (he considered himself to be king of both England and France),
The book details how a medieval army was paid, fed, quartered; taught the arts of war and chilvary and what weapons were utilized (the English archers won the battle as they slaughtered the French attacking them in a rainy, misty dawn across muddy fields). The English had about 6,000 troops but triumphed over the vast French forces facing them.
The French were divided by hatreds and factions being poorly led. The English troops were led by Henry a military genius and charismatic leader.
Juliet Barker has done a fine job making this 600 year battle come alive for the reader.
Customer Reviews:
A scholarly study - not for the casual reader.......2006-09-04
Although the book could be praised for its excrutiatingly thorough detail, I was personally disappointed. The book is more suited to a "credit class" scholarly group than the casual reader, such as I, searching simply for an entertaining understanding of the event. Despite the fact that the author includes minute detail such as pay records, important illustrations such as maps relating to the campaign and battles are not included in the text at point of discussion and lack clarity when found in the Appendix. Adding to my personal confusion was the omission of a glossary defining a multitude of terms which would be familiar only to those with a background in medieval warfare.
Splendid effort from Anne Curry, Agincourt explained .......2005-12-17
This book is evidently the product of extensive and painstaking research over what must have been a very long time. I, like many others, know about Agincourt mainly from Henry V as portrayed by Shakespeare. Anne Curry has been to extraordinary lengths to get right into the detail of events and extrapolate from the available information quite a different story. Fascinating insight into the period. Sometimes a little heavy eyelidded to keep going through some of the details but on the whole an intriguing read and well worth the effort. If accurate history is what you are looking for, told with authority, then this is a 'must have' book. Anne Curry I salute you, the hours that went into this and the efforts you have gone to are obvious, well done. Loved it, thankyou.
Book Description
Henry V became King of England in 1413. He was one of the great warrior kings of the country, cast in the same mould as Edward I and Edward III. He was just, pious, athletic, chivalrous, acquisitive, ruthless and eager to gain honour on the field of battle. Henry hoped that a successful campaign against the nation's traditional enemy would draw the people together and establish the popularity of the Lancastrian dynasty. This splendid addition to Osprey's Men-at-Arms series explores the background, organisation and equipment of the armies which fought in one of the most famous conflicts in England's history – the Battle of Agincourt.

Agincourt book.......2005-10-12
As with all of this series it is well done and with great illustrations
Excellent Research & Illustrations.......2003-04-19
This is a great little book on the subject. You'll get great research and a basic overview of what the armies, tactics/strategy, arms/armor, and opposing philosophies were. Rothero brings the warriors to life. The illustrations alone are worth the price and then some. Highly recommended; even if you're remotely interested in the subject, you'll likely be very satisfied with this book.
Beautiful & instructive..........2000-05-06
I would highly recommend this book to anyone interested in the Middle Age period, the grim realities of war at that time, etc... This book is also perfect if you're looking for realistic documentation, for example before a role playing game or a play.
Book Description
Agincourt is one of the most evocative names in English military history. Henry V's forces were tired, hungry, and faced a French army three to six times more numerous. However, they possessed several advantages, and English success resulted from the combination of heavily armoured men-at-arms with troops armed with the infamous longbow - the havoc this weapon wreaked was crucial. Using original fifteenth century evidence, including the surviving French battle plan and the accounts of men present in both armies, this title discusses the lead-up to the battle, the tactical dispositions of the two forces and the reasons for the ultimate English success.

Short and concise and informative.......2007-08-21
If you want a quick overview of the battle of Agincourt, this is the book for you. Mr. Bennett does a good job of: providing an overview of the opposing commanders, discussing the troops (strengths and weaknesses), giving the political background, describing the battle field and (finally) describing the battle. He also explains the differing interpretations of the battle field and the position of the troops. He also talks about a recently discovered document of the French battle plans (and provides the text) that was recently found in the British Library. I would be remiss to not mention that the book actually starts with the battle of Harfluer and describes Henry's retreat through the French countryside before the final battle at Agincourt. As with all the books in this series, the illustration are terrific and the maps and battle plans are worth the price of admission. As with most books in this series, it is quickly read and is a great reference tool for the curious minded.
Good Overview.......2003-01-05
Agincourt 1415 (Campaign ; No. 9)by M. Bennett is a quality overview of an improbable military victory. In 1415, during the Hundred Years War, the English Army commanded by Henry V defeated a French Army many times its size. Bennett goes to great lengths to explain how this happened and concluded that it resulted more from the failures of the French to take advantage of their numerical advantage, then the brilliance of Henry V.
The book follows the typical Ospery format. The most significant difference is that Bennett goes to great lengths to discuss the controversies regarding the battle as well as the inadequacies of the commanding officers. Bennett does not go overboard with his praise for Henry V and discusses his success and failures.
All in all, this is a good read for one that wants an overview of the most famous battle of the Hundred Years War.

fascinating, riveting, eye-opening; simply excellent.......2007-05-04
As someone learning to shoot a longbow for hunting deer in western Oregon, I read the book more for the archery aspects than the historical ones; however, I was treated to a simply first-class book on a famous battle. I love the way Juliet Barker sets the scene. She provides ample background on the character of King Henry and other personalities so that his actions and responses make sense. In someone else's hands this could easily have been tedious reading but it was not; it was utterly fascinating. Another reviewer wrote that this book reads more like a novel and I would agree. The author is indeed sympathetic to this king and her writing influenced me. From knowing nothing about King Henry V I feel that I understand much about him. He was an amazing person, a genuine leader, a fearless warrior, a brilliant strategist, and most appealingly to me, a man of honor. Would that we could have a president with such character!
Barker is worth a read.......2006-08-17
This is a very engaging work that goes beyond the simple logistics and mechanics of the campaign and battle. It is brings the major players to life in a way that the reader comes to understand their motivations and allegiances with biographical sketches woven throughout the book. Henry V is the main figure and is smpathetically treated. His sense of the noble purpose of the campaign and belief in the righteousness of his cause comes through clearly. By contrast, Charles VI and the Dauphin are no more than shadow characters, as they were in the entire Agincourt story. The book is rich in details of chivalry. For example, the story of Raoul de Gaucourt is followed from his life before the siege of Harfleur and through his leadership of the defense of the city. The strong defense of the city slowed Henry down and cost him unexpected men and material. When Harfleur fell, de Gaucourt surrendered to the king's justice. He was paroled with the expectation that he would appear at Calais to see what fate awaited him. After Agincourt, de Gaucourt presented himself to Henry at Calais and remained an English prisoner for some time. The reader gains a good appreciation of early 15th century chivalry. Barker also addresses other elements, often surprising to the modern reader, about the difficulties of a medieval campaign. Henry landed without maps as we know them and relied on local information and scouting parties to plan his route. Her discussion of the challenges an invading army has in findings its direction is just one of many that broadens the perspective beyond the Agincourt campaign. If you have an interest in the Hundred Years War or medieval warfare you'll find this book worth your time.
One of the Most Famous Battles in English History.......2006-07-22
I found this book extremely readable and very entertaining. Not something you can say about a lot of historical tomes.
The author gives a compelling account of the actual battle. So much so that the smell of the horses, the blood and gore and all the other noxious smells that are part and parcel of a battlefield seem to pervade the readers nostrils.
However the book is not just about the battle itself but also about the participants particularly the English King, scheming churchmen and murderous Dukes. The knightly heroes, cowards, surgeons and spies. The book has them all.
The author has made it possible for history to be enjoyed by a wider audience, rather than the academic. History has always been interesting. Books written like this one will make many more readers aware of that fact.
A great view into medieval life.......2006-07-21
I selected this book because of an interest in Henry V. However, the book is so full with anecdotes, stories and interesting tidbits about what life was like in the 15th century that it reads like a novel. Its really hard to put down. Highly recommended!
Book Description
One of the great triumphs of British warfare, there can be few victories so complete, or achieved against such heavy odds, as that won by Henry V on 25 October 1415 on the fields of Agincourt. Christopher Hibbert's compelling account of the utter defeat of Charles VI's army at Agincourt combines historical accuracy with a lucid and forceful narrative style. 'Written with vigour and lucidity' TLS
Customer Reviews:
Too much French for me.......2006-01-05
The chief problem with this book is that the writer incorporates the French perspective by using citations in French with no translations. I took 2 years of high school French but I'm not that good! This could be overlooked except that, for obvious reasons, I was very interested to hear the perspective of French writing on this lopsided defeat. The experience was like someone telling a long joke and them mumbling the awaited punchline, or someone tearing out the last page of a riveting mystery novel. I simply can't believe key citations weren't translated.
Otherwise the study of Henry V was great, and I would like to hear more about him (except since he died young I probably heard it all already.) The treatment of the battle was superficial, but perhaps given the lack of material this could be understood, but more could be done.
excellent book, but to much credit to english longbow.......2005-05-08
The book was great. In responce to another person, you should read the book, not listen to it on tape, especially when it deal with a time period that has many ancient or lost languages. Yes this book uses old french, along with latin and middle english, but it is the time period so it should be used. I am a medieval history student, and at first i always thought that the longbow was the main reason for the english defeat of the french. However, various proffesors, have explained that the rain was more of the reason. The bolts from the bow probably would not have pierced the armor at the range suggested, and many proffessors are stating that the mud bogged terrain made it difficult for the french to move. The french had to funnel down the hill, and it was difficult to walk. A few knights fell, causing many others to fall, in which they could not get up. I have looked at both arguments, and i think a little of both were contributing factors. However, the author really only suggest the longbow for the reason. It is very interesting, i would most deffinately suggest this book.
An Introduction To A Battle.......2004-09-11
In "Agincourt" Christopher Hibbert gives the reader a view of the battle of Agincourt, along with the preparations and the other portions of the campaign to reclaim King Henry's French inheritance. Although mostly focusing on the English, it does give some introduction to the French forces. When I read that many of the French troops were from Normandy I wondered how many of my ancestors were fighting on that field.
I found this book to give an informative insight into the dynastic quarrels of the 15th century, the challenges of military recruitment, the methods and weapons of combat and the characters involved in this battle. The comparison and contrast between history and Shakespeare's Henry V is interesting. Hibbert's assessment of Henry's character adds depth to the book.
This book is not a comprehensive history of the era by any means, but id does provide a map shot into one moment of it. All in all this merits a high recommendation as an introduction to this historic battle and a mild introduction for the reader with broader interests in the Middle Ages.
This story shall the good man teach his son.......2003-04-20
The title of this review is from King Henry V by William Shakespeare, and aptly sums up this book.
At Agincourt on 25 October 1415, the English were vastly outnumbered, cold, wet, hungry, on foreign soil and with vastly less equipment; the result was one of the most dominating victories against international terrorism.
France was the dominant military power in Europe, with at least 60,000 troops in the field in 1415. King Henry V brought about 5,500 Englishmen to France in the summer of 1415, in response to the French who had raided the English coast with impunity for years. Think of the attack on the World Trade Center in 2001; likewise, in the early 1400s, Plymouth was burned by French marauders, the Isle of Wight had been raided the following year and later, French forces landed at Milford Haven to support Welsh rebels.
Sound familiar? Well, despite these raids, the French were "negotiating" with the English to settle differences. Negotiating, negotiating and negotiating -- like some nations ignore UN resolution after resolution after resolution. Sound more familiar? Finally, the French got serious: They sent the English envoys back with a gift of tennis balls for the King and told him to play with his balls rather than meddle in matters beyond his capacity. Well, that's the story, anyway. Sorta like Weapons of Mass Destruction. Nations don't go to war, even against blatant evil, without good emotional reasons.
King Henry V had had enough. In November 1414, Bishop Beaufort ofr Windsor told Parliament "the more their King's dominions were extended, the less would their burthens become; and these things performed, great honour and glory would necessarily ensue." Besides, for the English in 1414, fighting and killing Frenchmen was fun.
This isn't the type of book most Americans would read. But, it nicely reflects current American habits of great forbearance, patience and decisive action when the time is ripe. Like Americans now in Iraq, with access to the world's second largest oil reserves, victory meant war could be very profitable. In the time of Henry V, profits came from prisoners of war who were later ransomed back to their homelands.
Like the war on Iraq, King Henry V relied on mobility, speed and hard-hitting weapons. As in 1940 with their Maginot Line, the French relied on armour; the English had the five-foot long yew bows, firing a three-foot arrow with a steel tip that could penetrate a solid oak door that was four inches thick.
But there was another more significant difference. Then, as now, France was elitist; some French knights refused to have anything to do with common soldiers. The strength of the English army was its common soldiers who voluntarily and constantly trained to maintain their proficiency with the longbow. They were the finest infantry in Europe.
In brief, such explanations are the beauty of this book. Obviously, since it was published in 2000, it doesn't cover the attack on the World Trade Center or the War on Iraq. But, many of the themes are recognizable. Hibbert doesn't merely tell us who won at Agincourt -- the French lost about 10,000 dead, the English about 100, and the English wound up with about 1,500 high-ranking noble prisoners -- he offers reasons why.
Victory led to the recovery of all English possessions in France and made King Henry V the leader of all Christendom against the Infidels, at a time when the Crusades against Islam were the epitome of military valour. Instead of leading a Crusade, King Henry V fell ill in the summer of 1422, and died in Vincennes at the age of 34. His heir was a baby-king, with actual rule conducted by a regent; they didn't have his powers of leadership or parliamentary support. In France, faced with English indecision and confusion, Joan of Arc rallied the French and within years everything King Henry V had won was lost.
Good History of a Remarkable Battle.......2003-03-03
Agincourt by Christopher Hibbert is a worthwhile overview of the campaign than led to and included the battle of Agincourt. Hibbert does a fine job recreating the events that led to the battle as well as the battle itself. However, the authors penchant for utilizing quotes solely in french is to say the least annoying. That aside, the strength of the book is the events that lead to the battle.
If one did not know the outcome of the battle before reading the book, Henry's victory at Agincourt would have come as a complete surprise. The English Army was much smaller when it arrived in France, and as each day progressed it was further depleted by battle, illness and the need to garrison towns. The French Army, which was several times the size of the English Army, had strung out the English Army. The English Army was short on food, deep in enemy country and was experiencing low morale.
What turned the tide, was the superior generalship of Henry V, the impatience of the French heavy cavalry, and the superior quality of English weaponry, particularly the long bow. The latter, gave the English the ability to make the French pay heavily for their impatience. Hibbert's writes in a very readable manner, and the book is recommended for one who wants a basic understanding of this portion of the Hundred Years War.

Could not have reviewed it better - a great story.......2004-09-10
I cannot add anything to the wonderful review that the young person did earlier. That "Kid" hit the whole essence of the book on the head. The beginning of the book showed the really sad end to the Plantagenet era and the rocky beginning to the Lancaster saga. The story is wonderfully written by Jean Pladiy. I advise reading her books in order to get the whole essence of the history of the British crown.
The star of Lancaster rose and fell.......2001-06-29
This starts with Henry of Lancaster's (who became Henry IV) marriage to Mary de Bohun. She bears him six children, the eldest being Harry of Monmouth. Henry deposes Richard and becomes king, but the Shakespeare line "uneasy lies the head upon which sits a crown" is only too apt. His terror of becoming a leper is very poignant. Then he dies, and Harry takes the throne. His confession to the priest is tense, but fortunately the book lightens up. He believes in his claim to the crown of France, conquers the country, and marries Katherine of Valois, whom he has fallen in love with. The book ends with the coronation of his baby son, Henry VI. They curl his fingers round the sceptre, but they cannot place the crown on his head. Is this an omen of the disastrous times to come?
