“Henry V: The Astonishing Triumph of England’s Greatest Warrior King”
 

Bestselling historian Dan Jones presents a biography examining the dramatic life and unparalleled leadership of England’s greatest medieval king. Henry V reigned over England for only nine years and four months, but he looms over the landscape of the late Middle Ages and beyond.  He was a hardened, sometimes brutal, warrior, yet he was also creative and artistic. He was a leader who made many mistakes, yet always seemed to triumph when it mattered. As king, he saved a shattered country from economic ruin, but sowed the seeds for three generations of calamity. Writing with characteristic wit and style, Dan Jones delivers a thrilling account of the contradictions and complexities in the life of a historical titan.
