About This Item
New York:: Stein & Day, 1976.. 1st American Edition.. Hardbound . BINDING/CONDITION: red binding with brown cloth at the spine; a Very Good book, with a Very Good dust jacket; publisher's price on the jacket flap is intact.. 8vo (9.5 inches tall) . Notes, bibliography, index. Description: Includes one short section of black and white illustrations. The publisher's blurb reads: ''This book sets the record straight, demonstrates convincingly that Henry V was a commander, and a king, who never took unnecessary risks. He fought at Agincourt, although heavily outnumbered, because the alternative was total abandonment of his long-term plans. A man without glamour, he was a master of tactics and strategy. Henry's career brought manifold successes. Though he spent less than a quarter of his nine years' reign in England, his influence was such that apart from one incipient revolt, the century for the first time in a generation was free of civil strife. And abroad he carried all before him so that at his death he had come literally within two months of seeing his dram of uniting the kingdoms of England and France under his own sovereignty come true. Margaret Wade Labarge slows that in the conditions of the fifteenth century the union might have held and this most misrepresented of English kings would have changed the course of English history.''
