A highly illustrated account of the defeat of the English Kingdom in France at the battles of Formigny (1450) and Castillon (1453).
Born in 1944, David Nicolle worked in the BBC’s Arabic
service for a number of years before gaining an MA from the School
of Oriental and African Studies, London, and a doctorate from
Edinburgh University. He has written numerous books and articles on
medieval and Islamic warfare, and has been a prolific author of
Osprey titles for many years.
Graham Turner is a leading historical artist, specializing
in the medieval period. He has illustrated numerous titles for
Osprey, covering a wide variety of subjects from the dress of the
10th-century armies of the Caliphates, through the action of bloody
medieval battles, to the daily life of the British Redcoat of the
late 18th century. The son of the illustrator Michael Turner,
Graham lives and works in Buckinghamshire, UK.
"...provides a fine narrowed focus on the battles of Formigny and Castillon which represented a change in how warfare was perceived and fought, and is a pick for any collection strong in medieval European history." --James A. Cox, The Midwest Book Review (August 2012)
