About this product
Product Information
What life was like for ordinary French and English people, embroiled in a devastating century-long conflict that changed their world The Hundred Years War (1337-1453) dominated life in England and France for well over a century. It became the defining feature of existence for generations. This sweeping book is the first to tell the human story of the longest military conflict in history. Historian David Green focuses on the ways the war affected different groups, among them knights, clerics, women, peasants, soldiers, peacemakers, and kings. He also explores how the long war altered governance in England and France and reshaped peoples' perceptions of themselves and of their national character. Using the events of the war as a narrative thread, Green illuminates the realities of battle and the conditions of those compelled to live in occupied territory; the roles played by clergy and their shifting loyalties to king and pope; and the influence of the war on developing notions of government, literacy, and education. Peopled with vivid and well-known characters--Henry V, Joan of Arc, Philippe the Good of Burgundy, Edward the Black Prince, John the Blind of Bohemia, and many others--as well as a host of ordinary individuals who were drawn into the struggle, this absorbing book reveals for the first time not only the Hundred Years War's impact on warfare, institutions, and nations, but also its true human cost.

Reviews
"Green holistically explores aspects of the war's effects with exceptionally thorough research on subjects as diverse as the Catholic Church, women, peasants and even language."-- Kirkus Reviews , starred review "As the subtitle indicates, Green's history of the Hundred Years War is not a conventional narrative account; rather, it traces the human story of the war. Knights, clerics, women, peasants, soldiers, and kings all found their personal and institutional identities altered by the conflict. This impressive survey ought to be included in any collection on the Middle Ages or the history of England and France. Highly recommended." -- J.D. Lyons, Choice "[ Hundred Years War ] makes us care about this long-ago conflict and the society that pursued and was shaped by it. . . . [It is] likely to (and indeed should) become a standard introduction to the war."--Charles F. Briggs, Speculum "This is war painted on a broad canvas, analytical as well as descriptive, emphasizing the social, political, military and economic effects of a long conflict in which people are never forgotten."--Christopher Allmand, author of The Hundred Years War: England and France at War, c.1300-c.1450, "Green holistically explores aspects of the war's effects with exceptionally thorough research on subjects as diverse as the Catholic Church, women, peasants and even language."-- Kirkus Reviews , starred review "As the subtitle indicates, Green's history of the Hundred Years War is not a conventional narrative account; rather, it traces the human story of the war.

Green's brilliant evocation of the period, his eye for telling detail, and his powerful narrative voice serve to transform the history of war and nationhood in later medieval England and France."--W.
