The Hundred Years War, Volume 2: Trial by Fire by Jonathan Sumption

The Hundred Years War, Volume 2: Trial by Fire by Jonathan Sumption massive just like the first volume that I reviewed last year.  This takes the conflict through 1347.  Most of the narrative discusses the various attempts at peace.  There's also quite a bit on the different Companies freebooters who turned much of France into an ungovernable wasteland.  A 3rd volume has been released.  I have to wonder if he's actually going to be able to finish the war they seem to be coming out about once a decade.

Highly recommended.
