Description
The Hundred Years War: A People's History by David Green This sweeping narrative explores the human story behind one of history's longest and most devastating conflicts. From 1337 to 1453, the Hundred Years War dominated life in England and France, shaping the world for generations. Historian David Green delves into the lives of ordinary people - knights, clerics, women, peasants, soldiers, peacemakers, and kings - to reveal how the war affected different groups. He examines the impact on governance, literacy, education, and the roles played by clergy during this period. The book sheds light on the realities of battle, life in occupied territory, and the influence of the war on national character. By weaving together the events of the war as a narrative thread, Green brings to life the true human cost of this conflict, revealing its lasting impact on warfare, institutions, and nations.
