Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On 1st July 1916, the Bay of Somme was the scene of the deadliest day in British military history. What happened there? Englishmen, Scotsmen, Irishmen, Welshmen, Canadians, South Africans, Australians, New Zealanders – many soldiers from Great Britain and the Commonwealth volunteered in 1916 to attack on the front in Picardy, a much heavier involvement than in the previous years of the First World War. On that day more than 20,000 of them lost their lives on the battlefield, coming to the aid of a French army exhausted by Verdun. Written in direct, vivid prose, Jean-Michel Steg gives this episode its central place in the memory of the Great War and attempts to make sense of the tragedy and horror of the event. Drawing on many moving first-hand accounts – including those of celebrated poets Wilfred Owen, Siegfried Sassoon and Robert Graves – These Englishmen Who Died for France dives into a detailed, exhilarating, harrowing account of the experiences of British soldiers as they unfolded on the front that day in July. Jean-Michel Steg holds a PhD in History from EHESS in Paris, a master's degree from the Sorbonne University in Paris, an MBA from Harvard Business School and a degree from the Institut d'Etudes Politique de Paris. He has been nominated in France to the Ordre National du Mérite. Ethan Rundell is a writer, translator and once-aspirant historian with degrees from the University of California, Berkeley, and the École des hautes études en sciences sociales (EHESS).

This book was released on 2024-10-01 with total page 7723 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The celebrated Renaissance chronicler Raphael Holinshed produced a comprehensive history of the British Isles in collaboration with several others. The ‘Chronicles’ was compiled uncritically from many sources of varying degrees of trustworthiness. It provided a valuable repertory of historical information that was not readily available to the majority of Tudor readers. The Elizabethan dramatists drew heavily from Holinshed’s pages, which in turn helped change the course of English literature. This eBook presents Holinshed’s complete works, with numerous illustrations, rare texts, a concise introduction and the usual Delphi bonus material.

Book Synopsis The Battle of Agincourt by : Anne Curry
Download or read book The Battle of Agincourt written by Anne Curry and published by Boydell Press. This book was released on 2000 with total page 494 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Agincourt! Agincourt! Know ye not Agincourt?' So began a ballad of around 1600. Since the event itself (25 October 1415), Agincourt has occupied a special place in both English and French consciousness. Some early French writers could not bring themselves to mention it by name, using instead descriptions such as 'the accursed day'. For the English, it was one of the greatest military successes ever, and thus was celebrated and commemorated in many forms over the centuries which followed. In the First World War, there were stories of angelic Agincourt bowmen giving support and inspiration to the British army. Much ink has been spilt on the battle but do we really know Agincourt? Many historical works have relied on one or two well known sources or even on Shakespeare. Not since Harris Nicolas's History of the Battle of Agincourt was published (1827-33) has there been a full attempt to survey the sources. This book brings together, in translation and with commentary, English and French narrative accounts and literary works of the fifteenth century. It also traces the treatment of the battle in sixteenth -century English histories and in the literary output of, amongst others, Shakespeare and Drayton. After examining how later historians interpreted the battle, it concludes with the first full assessment of the extremely rich administrative records which survive for the armies which fought 'upon Saint Crispin's day'.
