Umbrella Academy Vol 2 (GN)

This must surely be the definitive study of Crecy for many years to come; but it is much more than that. It is the narrative of a fourteenth century army at war. Impressive in its scholarship, immaculately presented, it is an essential item in a medievalist's library. CASEMATEGathers an enormous amount of information (that) has never been brought together in this way. The result will be appealing to any scholar of the later Middle Ages and in particular to those with interests in military matters. HEMECHTThis is a unique, invaluable collection of the thoughts, conclusions and surmises of some of the best minds that concern themselves with the Hundred Years War; in this case, one of its most famous and fatal battles, which like Agincourt poses fascinating problems of every kind concerning fourteenth and fifteenth-century armies in the field. ROBERT HARDY, CBE, FSAEssays of very high quality. (...) A very fine, scholarly study and eminently readable book which deserves great authority as a study of Crecy. HISTORY A useful addition to the literature and worth reading by anyone with any interest in its topic. JOURNAL OF MILITARY HISTORY (US)Mit diesem Buch liegt nicht nur eine detaillierte Analyse der Schlacht von Crecy vor, es liefert auch ein Beispiel dafur, wie eine auf ilitarisch-organisatorische Aspekte abzielende Kriegsgeschichte des Mittelalters heute geschrieben werden muss.MARTIN CLAUSS, H-SOZ-U-KULT
