Agincourt: Battle of the Scarred King by Michael Livingston

informative slow-paced

4.75

this was a fascinating and informative read! one of the best nonfiction histories i’ve read in a while. i learned a lot about a battle and it’s politics of which i’d previously only had glancing (and primarily Shakespearean) knowledge. while there were many, many details, i didn’t feel bogged down by the information; Livingston’s voice and pacing kept me engaged and not overwhelmed. i also particularly appreciated his explicit discussion of biases/worldview and the way he oriented us to the academic arguments surrounding the battle. masterfully written, with a compelling argument. highly recommend.
