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.
