Reviews

This impressive work makes a major contribution to our understanding of late medieval warfare... Rogers is particularly good on the particularities of conflict and campaign.
*JOURNAL OF MILITARY HISTORY*

Among the great medieval military leaders, Edward III may be the least studied. That is, until this excellent book...
*CHOICE*

A complete and convincing reassessment of Edward's strategic planning and execution... All subsequent historians of the Hundred Years' War will have to take account of (and in my opinion accept) Rogers' conclusions, and medieval military historians generally will have to explain the modification Rogers' study forces upon the standard battle-avoiding model of medieval strategy. This is, in short, a very important book.
*ALBION*

Exhilarating...persuasive...an impressive and compulsively readable book, illuminated by vivid citations from the sources and enlivened by a combative style.
*HISTORY*

A worthy and distinguished contribution to scholarship on the early stages of the Hundred Years War.
*FRENCH HISTORY*

Has surely extended the scholarship in this area... essential reading as a core text on any reading list for a course on the Hundred Years War.
