I love medieval history and this book starts way back, so it suited me. I'm not a great lover of the French Nation so that scored too! It's a refreshing look at the relationship between the 2 Countries. (No wonder the dislike is mutual) Given these viewpoints it's related in a readable and amusing way! I intend to read it again in the future. Only a couple of weeks ago the book was recommended it the House of Commons by a Conservative MP!

I have this on my kindle and have read it twice. I bought this for a friend. The book is educational and amusingly entertaining.

Excellent book. Would recommend it to anyone who want to learn something "outside of the box".

A worthy successor to "1066 And All That" ... detailed, historically accurate, yet unmerciful in its humour and anti-Gallic sentiment. If you want to have a really good laugh, and along the way learn some genuine historical information with no effort, this book is for you. It would make a great gift too.
