COMMAND The background, strategies, tactics and battlefield
experiences of the greatest commanders of history
HENRY V
I
MMORTALIZED
in the eponymous play by Shakespeare,
Henry V is the most famous and celebrated of all
England's medieval monarchs. His dramatic victory over
the French at Agincourt, combined with his death at an
early age, has created an aura of myth around him as a
man and as a commander that has endured to this day
Accompanied by detailed maps, photographs and artwork,
this title thoroughly explores Henry s command experience,
tracing his development from a young prince struggling
against an insurrection in his principality of Wales to his
eventual triumph in Northern France. There is also an.
examination of Henry's private motivations and aspirations,
together with analysis of some of his controversial military
decisions, such as the slaughter of the French prisoners
at Agincourt.
