Some slight edge wear to top and bottom of book and spine, spine uncreased, scratch to centre front cover, slight browning to page block, no inscriptions, overall, book looks to have been lightly and carefully used. 639pp. Jonathan Sumption's multi volume, narrative history of The Hundred Years War between England and France, has been widely praised as 'earning a place alongside Sir Steven Runciman's A History of the Crusades' according to Frederic Raphael. This is the first volume in a series that details the long and violent endeavour of the English to dismember Europe's strongest state, a succession of wars that is one of the seminal chapters in European history. Beginning with the funeral of Charles IV of France in 1328, it follows the Hundred Years War up to the surrender of Calais in 1347. It traces the early humiliations and triumphs of Edward III: the campaigns of Sluys, Crecy and Calais, which first made his name as a war leader and the reputation of his subjects as the most brutally effective warriors of their time. A scarce classic.
