This excellent audio production of Seward’s popular overview delivers all the drama and pageantry of the Hundred Years War (Britain versus France, 1337-1453). Nigel Patterson is a particularly apt narrator. His firm pacing, confident diction, and unaffected delivery reflect Seward’s lucid and unsparing narrative in which kings and potentates receive the same frank assessment as knaves and fools, and are often found to be one and the same. This was the era of the Black Prince, of Henry V and Agincourt, of Joan of Arc, and of Norman England’s loss of Normandy and its other lands in France. It’s an unforgettable drama of valor and might—and the consequences of overreaching. D.A.W. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award © AudioFile 2019, Portland, Maine
