This was a solid book on the background, early life and campaigns of Henry V. I believe the author did a good job in building the portrait of Henry, the transformation of his character and how he executed his ambitions as king. Given the length of the book, it does a good job at covering a huge amount of detail in a relatively short amount of space. There are countless points in the work where I found myself researching additional areas that lead to new subjects of interest. To my way of thinking, this invitation to exploration is the mark of a good piece of literature. The book has primary and secondary references, a glossary and index that helps clear up vocabulary used during the time of Henry the V. I would recommend having my cell phone handy to look up additional areas of interest including pictures if you're interested. That makes the reading a much more engrossing and enjoyable read.
