Yet the story of the Hundred Years' War contains all of these things, and it is a story that is entirely true. The story of this war is made fascinating by its setting, but it is made inspiring by its characters. Here is a blind king who rides to war for the opportunity to strike one last blow with his sword; here is a young prince, dressed all in black, who leads his father's men to victory; here are boy kings and fierce queens, prisoners who believe in honor, hailstorms that stop entire campaigns, and the wonderful story of a young peasant girl who changed the course of history forever. The Hundred Years' War changed language, national identity, weaponry, and even the way that people think about war. It is part of the greater narrative of human history and gives a snapshot of how human nature can behave when pressed by the extremity of such a conflict—sometimes with unspeakable honor and courage and other times with cowardice, selfishness, and arrogance. There are many lessons to be learned from this war. Its tale is a cautionary one, but it is also a tale of adventure, battle, hope, and divine intervention. It's the tale of a war unlike any other.

A quick look a Joan of Ark. Does not skip on major details of her life, but is not a comprehensive read as other books may be. It is on the 10 best books of Joan of Ark reading.

It was a good book, but was baised.
Why to put all the blame on king Edward iii. Sure he started the war, but then calling him greedy is unfair. Most of the kings of that era were Power hungry and Greedy. King Edward was no exception.

And as for Joan d Arc's book, I was expecting Secular and Scientific account of her life.
