内容简介

The Hundred Years' War is the name used by modern historians to denote the military conflicts fought by 14th and 15th century England and France. The war is of considerable interest both because of its duration and the number of theatres in which it was fought. In this book, Anne Curry demonstrates how this conflict reveals much about the changing nature of warfare: the rise of infantry and the demise of the knight; the impact of increased gunpowder use; and the effect of the war on the generations of people who lived through it.
