Podcasts about Agincourt

This week Beau discusses what Henry did after The Battle of Agincourt; i.e, returned to England, took a year out, returned in 1417, took Rouen, played the French off against each other, and entered Paris in triumph.

VIII A lo largo de la historia, miles de soldados han sido testigos de lo inexplicable en medio del horror de la guerra. Fantasmas y Militares, rescatamos esos relatos olvidados, a veces silenciados, donde lo sobrenatural aparece justo cuando la muerte acecha. Desde las trincheras de la Primera Guerra Mundial hasta la jungla vietnamita, desde las aguas del Atlántico hasta los cielos de Europa, dramatización de historias reales: desapariciones, apariciones, objetos voladores, criaturas imposibles y testimonios que desafían toda lógica. Cada episodio une historia militar con fenómenos paranormales documentados. Aquí no encontrarás ficción, sino voces que regresan del frente con verdades que nadie quiso escuchar. En cada campo de batalla, más allá del estruendo de las bombas y las órdenes gritadas al viento, hay historias que no figuran en los partes oficiales. Testimonios sellados por el silencio, por el miedo… o por lo imposible. Este podcast rescata esos relatos, donde lo sobrenatural se entrelaza con la guerra. En las oscuras junglas de Vietnam, en agosto de 1969, tres marines estadounidenses patrullaban el perímetro de su campamento en Da Nang, cuando una figura alada surgió entre los árboles. No era un helicóptero. No era el Vietcong. Aquello parecía salido de una pesadilla. Viajaremos también a Ypres, en Bélgica, en plena Primera Guerra Mundial, donde un soldado, agazapado en la trinchera, dijo haber visto a su madre entre el humo del gas mostaza. No gritaba. Solo miraba. En los Países Bajos, a finales de 1585, un destacamento de los Tercios españoles fue rodeado por las aguas al ser inundada la isla de Bommel. El enemigo creía tenerlos atrapados. Pero durante la noche, un soldado encontró algo bajo tierra… a partir de ese momento, la historia cambió. En la batalla de Agincourt, en 1415, se cuenta que una niebla espesa descendió sobre el campo francés. Entre las sombras, algunos juraron ver figuras con arcos medievales, vestidas como en los tiempos de las cruzadas. Arqueros sin cuerda. Flechas que no mataban… pero paralizaban. Siglos después, durante la Primera Guerra Mundial, en el frente de Mons, soldados británicos dijeron ver aquellas mismas figuras cruzando entre el humo y el barro. ¿Fue solo propaganda o realmente regresaron? En la Segunda Guerra Mundial, un enorme B-17, bombardero estadounidense, descendió sobre territorio aliado. Sus motores funcionaban. Su tren de aterrizaje estaba desplegado. Pero ocurrió algo que no tiene sentido. También conocerás el caso del submarino UB-85, interceptado en abril de 1918 por un buque británico en el Mar del Norte. La tripulación alemana se lanzó al mar, desesperada. Cuando fueron interrogados, dijeron que algo había emergido del océano la noche anterior… En Gallípoli, 1915, durante la campaña del Dardanelos, un batallón británico marchó hacia una formación extraña, una nube densa en tierra firme. 250 soldados entraron Observadores neozelandeses los vieron desaparecer. Ninguno regresó. Estos no son cuentos populares ni mitos de taberna. Son testimonios reales, firmados por hombres que juraron decir la verdad. Fechas precisas. Lugares concretos.

This week Beau concludes the story of the battle of Agincourt, along with the various takes concerning the points of controversy.

A special episode as we leave the city for a few years and look to the ever-so-important war with France raging across on the Continent. Picking up after Henry V's victory at Agincourt, we look at why the next few years of this war were entirely different from any other part of it so far, look at the situation in France that allowed Henry do so bloody well, follow the King as he rampages across the nation, seemingly invincible… and look at why his sudden death was not the complete disaster it could have been. A chapter where we look to the external forces that were going to influence events in London for decades to come.

This week Beau continues to discuss the long and dangerous march that Henry attempts between Harfleur and Calais, culminating in the army finally getting cornered just outside a small village called Agincourt.

behind and weaving in and out of the Story of London for many chapters now, had been the seemingly endless war with the French. But now, Henry V was to march to France, take the port of Harfluer and then accidentally walk into the greatest battle of his life… The story of the Battle of Agincourt and above all, the wild and wild celebrations that took place in London to celebrate it are told in this weeks chapter of the Story.

This week Beau discusses the beginning of Henry V's 1415 Agincourt campaign, and the commencement of the famous siege of Harfleur.

The Battle of Crécy in 1346 saw an outnumbered English army under King Edward III win an unexpected and decisive victory that reshaped the Hundred Years' War — and the future of Europe. But what if everything we thought we knew about the Battle of Crécy was wrong?Matt Lewis is joined by Professor Michael Livingston to peel back centuries of myth to uncover the real Crécy, the truth behind the battle's location, its legendary longbowmen, and the five kings who played their part in this epic confrontation.More:The Battle of Agincourt >https://open.spotify.com/episode/3hp2D8T7XnGXumMpBHpopQThe Hundred Years Warhttps://open.spotify.com/episode/3UQkEb0MTdJdwYmJB333RXGone Medieval is presented by Matt Lewis and edited by Amy Haddow.

Send us comments, suggestions and ideas here! In this week's episode we embark on the final phase of our conquest of Sun Tzu's Taoist manual for never losing, The Art of War. In the free side of the show we discuss how terrain influenced the outcome of the Battle of Agincourt and how Roman general Varro would have been spared the vengeance of Hannibal had he abided by Sun Tzu's advice and kept his cool, costing 80,000 of his own troops their lives. Then we take a look at how US fighter pilot John Boyd utilized Sun Tzu's advice about the rapidity of war to construct a highly deadly theory of winning battles called the OODA loop which we explore in depth. In the extended show we begin by discussing how to influence your own troops under different conditions and why Sun Tzu says you should fire everybody when you take office. Finally we discuss the supreme art of lighting the enemy on fire and the proper use of spies which, amazingly, can be sorted into the five elements and used accordingly. Thank you and enjoy the show!

Many people know the Hundred Years' War, and almost everyone in the English speaking world has heard of the Battle of Agincourt, but not many would be familiar with the The Battle of Baugé which was fought on the 22nd March 1421 between the English and the Franco-Scottish forces in the territory of Baugé in France.Let's ask Callum Watson more about this conflict. Callum works at the site of the Battle of Bannockburn and who recently released a book on the topic with Pen & Sword Publishing.Callum's Book:https://www.pen-and-sword.co.uk/1314-The-Year-of-Bannockburn-Hardback/p/49813/aid/1238Find Callum:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCiesDZuBN1Z0SE3Vq3Gjz_Ahttps://drcallumwatson.blogspot.com/https://www.instagram.com/cpwatson1375/The Battle of Bannockburn - National Trust for Scotland:https://www.nts.org.uk/visit/places/bannockburn/Britain's Lost Battlefields:https://www.imdb.com/title/tt12270298/https://www.channel5.com/show/britain-s-lost-battlefields-with-rob-bellLondon Walking Tours:https://www.getyourguide.com/london-l57/london-the-royal-british-kings-and-queens-walking-tour-t426011/https://www.getyourguide.com/london-l57/london-unsavory-history-guided-walking-tour-t428452/https://ifitaintbaroquepodcast.art/ Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

In the midst of the Hundred Years' War, King Henry V of England faced a daunting challenge at the Battle of Agincourt on October 25, 1415. With an army of about 6,000 men, primarily longbowmen, he confronted a French force estimated at 20,000 to 25,000, including heavily armored knights. The English longbow, capable of firing up to 12 arrows per minute, proved decisive. As the battle commenced, Henry ordered his men to plant sharpened stakes to thwart the French cavalry charge. The muddy terrain hampered the French knights, who, despite their numbers, struggled to advance. When they charged, the English longbowmen unleashed a devastating volley, causing chaos among the French ranks. The English line initially faltered under the weight of the French assault, but they quickly regrouped. The battle devolved into brutal hand-to-hand combat, with Henry himself fighting valiantly. Ultimately, the French lost their nerve and retreated, suffering heavy casualties—estimates suggest 6,000 to 7,000 dead, while the English losses were significantly lower. In the aftermath, Henry captured several high-ranking French nobles, including the Constable of France. This victory not only solidified Henry's power but also shifted the balance of the war, leading to future treaties that would alter the course of English and French history. The Battle of Agincourt became a legendary tale of courage and strategy, showcasing the effectiveness of the English longbow and the resilience of a determined king.  

In a wacky discussion, Craig, Ian and Eric discuss their favorite battles of History . . . and the "Dolphin of France".  the hosts delve into the complexities of the Hundred Years' War, emphasizing that it was not a continuous conflict but rather a series of smaller campaigns. They highlight the contrasting tactics of the French and English armies during the Battle of Agincourt, where the French relied on heavy cavalry while the English utilized longbowmen. The muddy terrain played a crucial role, hindering the French cavalry's advance and allowing the English to inflict significant casualties. As the conversation shifts, they touch on the aftermath of Agincourt, noting how it decimated the French nobility and forced a tactical evolution in their military leadership. The hosts also discuss the rise of Joan of Arc, who emerged as a pivotal figure during a time when England was pulling back from its control over France. The dialogue is peppered with humor and references to pop culture, including movies about these historical events. They express frustration over misconceptions about historical figures and battles, particularly regarding the portrayal of soldiers and tactics in modern media. The hosts conclude their discussion with a light-hearted banter about the absurdities of history and the importance of understanding the nuances behind these significant events, leaving listeners with a deeper appreciation for the complexities of warfare and its impact on society.

It's very much full steam ahead on the batshittery in America and Hannah is struggling to keep up. Mickey has news about the state (and we do mean state) of women's prisons in England, and we ask ourselves, do the French still hurt over Agincourt? There are two Sexisms of the Week, with some ageism to boot.

fWotD Episode 2737: William de Ros, 6th Baron Ros Welcome to Featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia’s finest articles.The featured article for Friday, 1 November 2024 is William de Ros, 6th Baron Ros.William de Ros, 6th Baron Ros (c. 1370 – 1 November 1414), was a medieval English nobleman, politician and soldier. The second son of Thomas de Ros, 4th Baron Ros, and Beatrice Stafford, William inherited his father's feudal barony and estates (with extensive lands centred on Lincolnshire) in 1394. Shortly afterwards, he married Margaret, daughter of John FitzAlan, 1st Baron Arundel. The Fitzalan family, like that of de Ros, was well-connected at the local and national level. They were implacably opposed to King Richard II, and this may have soured Richard's opinion of the young de Ros.The late 14th century was a period of political crisis in England. In 1399, Richard II confiscated the estates of his cousin, Henry Bolingbroke, Duke of Lancaster, and exiled him. Bolingbroke invaded England several months later, and de Ros took his side almost immediately. Richard's support had deserted him; de Ros was alongside Henry when Richard surrendered his throne to the invader, who became King Henry IV. De Ros later voted in the House of Lords for the former king's imprisonment. De Ros benefited from the new Lancastrian regime, achieving far more than he had ever done under Richard. He became an important aide and counsellor to King Henry and regularly spoke for him in Parliament. He also supported Henry in his military campaigns, participating in the invasion of Scotland in 1400 and assisting in the suppression of the rebellion of Richard Scrope, Archbishop of York, five years later.In return for his loyalty to the new regime, de Ros received extensive royal patronage. This included lands, grants, wardships, and the right to arrange the wards' marriages. De Ros performed valuable service as an advisor and ambassador (perhaps most importantly to Henry, who was often in a state of near-penury; de Ros was a wealthy man, and regularly loaned the crown large amounts of money). Important as he was in government and the regions, de Ros was unable to avoid the tumultuous regional conflicts and feuds which were rife at this time. In 1411 he was involved in a land dispute with a powerful Lincolnshire neighbour, and narrowly escaped an ambush; he sought and received redress in Parliament. Partly because of de Ros's restraint in not seeking the severe penalties available to him, he was described by a 20th-century historian as a particularly wise and forbearing figure for his time.King Henry IV died in 1413. De Ros did not long survive him, and played only a minor role in government during the last year of his life. He may have been out of favour with the new king, Henry V. As Prince of Wales, Henry had fallen out with his father a few years before, and de Ros had supported Henry IV over his son. De Ros died in Belvoir Castle on 1 November 1414. His wife survived him by twenty-four years; his son and heir, John, was still a minor. John later fought at Agincourt in 1415 and died childless in France in 1421. The barony of de Ros was then inherited by William's second son, Thomas, who also died in military service in France, seven years after his brother.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 08:39 UTC on Friday, 8 November 2024.For the full current version of the article, see William de Ros, 6th Baron Ros on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm standard Matthew.

Henry V only had a short reign, but his legacy looms large over the medieval landscape. Remembered as a heroic warrior king, who bested the French at Harfleur then marched his forces to victory at Agincourt, few monarchs have such a distinguished reputation. But 'Prince Hal' wasn't always destined for greatness. Was he really the gadabout youth Shakespeare would have us believe? In the third episode of our three-part HistoryExtra podcast series 'Tyrant, Usurper, Hero', Helen Castor sits down with Dan Jones to learn more about Henry's life beyond the battlefield – and highlight what lessons he learned from the chaos caused by Richard II and Henry IV.

‘We few, we happy few, we band of brothers' – King Henry's speech to rouse his troops before the Battle of Agincourt is one of the most famous in Shakespeare. But what does ‘Henry V' tell us about theories of war in Elizabethan England?Professor Anne-Marie Walkowicz of Ohio's Central State University in the USA argues that the play explores the just war tradition – the counsel rulers should seek before engaging in military action – and class conflict.Read more in Research OutreachRead the original article : https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-031-35564-6_14

Nugget of Hope: Each generation has more in common than we realize. As time passes, each generation within a family often brings life full circle. Brent Olson has lived on a small farm in Big Stone County, on the edge of the prairie in western Minnesota, for 64 of his 66 years. As a working journalist, Brent has filed articles from 20 countries on six continents. This has led him to want to change the world he lives in through his work as a county commissioner and create a new world in his two recent novels, "Angr" and "Between the Helpless and the Darkness." In this time of news and information tailored so everyone can hear only what they want to hear, he presents information that will leave everyone just a little unsettled. Working with a warm heart and a cold eye, he dissects what works from what doesn't in our individual lives, institutions, and country. He has served on dozens of boards and committees—as varied as the Big Stone County Pork Producers, and the Minnesota United Methodist Board of Ordained Ministry. As a short-order cook at his very own Inadvertent Café, he has learned to make fluffy scrambled eggs and the best omelets on Main Street in Clinton, Minnesota (Population 453). Olson is a Big Stone County Commissioner and a 2012 Bush Foundation Fellow. === Who I am When someone offers me help, my instinctive response is to say, “No, thanks; I can do anything.” This has gotten me in a lot of trouble over the years. I still say it. I once shot myself in the hand with a rifle while preparing for a Norwegian-Philippine-French Independence Day Celebration. One of my books was in Pete Seeger's bathroom. I once took a group of other people's children to stay in the ghetto of a developing nation where our bodyguard was a thirteen-year-old girl named Lauri. I don't own a wristwatch, but I'm always on time. I know all of “Silver Tongued Devil” by Kris Kristofferson. Of the ten most dangerous jobs in America I've dabbled in six. I once harvested 235 acres of soybeans in 17 1/2 hours. It snowed that night, and the next morning, before I put on my shoes, I had three cups of coffee. I know what Henry the V probably really said at Agincourt was, “Let's get ‘em boys,” but Shakespeare's version always makes me cry. I can castrate 30-pound pigs by myself, 40 seconds per pig. I have an email on file from a person who drove three hundred miles to have coffee with me and said that meeting me had been on his bucket list. I have a letter in my file cabinet that reads, in part, “I've completely lost all respect for you as an elected official and as a human being.” I once drank all the whiskey with a world-famous poet and told a story that my wife hates me to tell because she doesn't like people to know what I'm capable of. When I was done, the poet laughed and said, “That's a poem.” I've buried four dogs. I love my family. I can cope.

On the 25th October 1415 Henry V led the English army onto the field of Agincourt. There he defeated the flower of French chivalry to win perhaps the finest victory of the medieval period, made famous by Shakespeare's play. But who was Henry V? Brilliant general, skilled politician or simply a warmonger? And is there a figure from the past that he most resembles? Dan Jones, the author of a new biography of Henry joins to answer these and many more questions as we try to get to the bottom of who Henry V was.

Agincourt is one of the most famous battles in English history, a defining part of the national myth. This groundbreaking study by Michael Livingston presents a new interpretation of Henry V's great victory. King Henry V's victory over the French armies at Agincourt on 25 October 1415 is unquestionably one of the most famous battles in history. From Shakespeare's “band of brothers” speech to its appearances in numerous films, Agincourt rightfully has a place among a handful of conflicts whose names are immediately recognized around the world. The English invasion of France in 1415 saw them take the French port of Harfleur after a long siege, following which Henry was left with a sick and weakened army, which he chose to march across Normandy to the port of Calais against the wishes of his senior commanders. The French had assembled a superior force and shadowed the English Army before finally blocking its route. The battle that followed was an overwhelming victory for the English, with the French suffering horrific casualties. Agincourt opened the door for Henry V's further conquests in France. Agincourt: Battle of the Scarred King (Bloomsbury, 2023) provides a new look at this famous battle. Livingston goes back to the original sources, including the French battle plan that still survives today, to give a new interpretation, one that challenges the traditional site of the battlefield itself. It is a thrilling new history that not only rewrites the battle as we know it, but also provides fresh insights into the men who fought and died there. An acclaimed conflict analyst, Michael Livingston has twice won the Distinguished Book Prize from the international Society for Military History (2017, 2020) and is the author of numerous popular history books, including Never Greater Slaughter and Crécy: Battle of Five Kings. He serves as Distinguished Professor at The Citadel. Daniel Moran earned his B.A. and M.A. in English from Rutgers University and his Ph.D. in History from Drew University.

St Crispin's day, 1415: Henry V stands victorious, after a tremendous defeat of the French forces at the Battle of Agincourt. He is just about to make a historic speech which will be retold by Shakespeare nearly two centuries later. There are mounds of bodies, too many dead for the chroniclers to count. Those who escaped the bloodshed have been taken prisoner back to England, including the young Duke of Orleans, on the day before his twenty-first birthday. And a month later, across the Channel, the Count of Armagnac comes to power in Paris, and rules so brutally that the residents of the French capital start to hope for an English invasion. Henry V is taking no time to rest, and begins planning his next offensive… Join Tom and Dominic in the fourth instalment of our series on the Hundred Year's War, as Henry V considers his next move after his triumph at Agincourt. _______ *The Rest Is History LIVE in the U.S.A.* If you live in the States, we've got some great news: Tom and Dominic will be performing throughout America in November, with shows in San Francisco, L.A., Chicago, Philadelphia, Washington D.C., Boston and New York.  *The Rest Is History LIVE at the Royal Albert Hall* Tom and Dominic, accompanied by a live orchestra, take a deep dive into the lives and times of two of history's greatest composers: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Ludwig van Beethoven.

“We few, we happy few, we band of brothers”. The Battle of Agincourt in 1415 endures as perhaps the most totemic battle in the whole of English history. Thanks in part to Shakespeare's masterful Henry V, the myths and legends of that bloody day echo across time, forever enshrining the young Henry as the greatest warrior king England had ever known. So too the enduring idea of the English as plucky underdogs, facing down unfavourable odds with brazen grit. And though the exact numbers of men who fought in the two armies is hotly contested, the prospect was certainly intimidating for the English host looking down upon the vast French force amassed below them the day before the battle. Hungry and weary after an unexpectedly long march, and demoralised by the number of French that would be taking to the field, the situation certainly seemed dire for the English. One man amongst them, however, held true to his belief that the day could still be won: Henry V. An undeniably brilliant military commander, he infused his men with a sense of patriotic mission, convincing them that theirs was truly a divinely ordained task, and therefore in this - and his careful strategic planning the night before the battle - he proves a striking case of one individual changing the course of history. However, the French too had plans in place for the day ahead: total warfare. In other words, to overwhelm the English in a single devastating moment of impact, sweeping the lethal Welsh archers aside. So it was that dawn broke on the 25th of October to the site of King Henry wearing a helmet surmounted by a glittering crown and bearing the emblems of both France and England, astride his little grey horse, and riding up and down his lines of weathered silver clad men, preparing them to stride into legend…then, as the French cavalry began their charge, the sky went black as 75,000 arrows blocked out the sun. What else would that apocalyptic day hold in store? Join Tom and Dominic as they describe the epochal Battle of Agincourt. From the days building up to it, to the moment that the two armies shattered together in the rain and mud of France. It is a story of courage and cowardice, kings and peasants, blood and bowels, tragedy and triumph.  _______ *The Rest Is History LIVE in the U.S.A.* If you live in the States, we've got some great news: Tom and Dominic will be performing throughout America in November, with shows in San Francisco, L.A., Chicago, Philadelphia, Washington D.C., Boston and New York.  *The Rest Is History LIVE at the Royal Albert Hall* Tom and Dominic, accompanied by a live orchestra, take a deep dive into the lives and times of two of history's greatest composers: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Ludwig van Beethoven.

On the 11th of August 1415, King Henry V of England - an austere, pious, thoughtful and terrifying warlord in only his late-twenties - set sail for France. He embarked in the largest ship ever built on English soil at the head of some 15,000 ships, his nobles, brothers and hordes of Welsh longbow-men in tow. Two days later, they made land, and their target: the Port of Harfleur, a nest of state-sponsored pirates. Henry's intention was to use it as a spring-board to a wider campaign in France, capitalising on the chaos that raged there, before eventually annexing Normandy. The assault on Harfleur that followed was bloody and brutal. The first Norman town to be pulverised by artillery, the English canons created a hellish scene of smoke and fire. However, the siege went on longer than Henry had hoped, inflicting terrible devastation upon the city and his forces. Furthermore, large numbers of his men were falling sick and their supplies growing thin. Finally, after four long weeks of terrible siege warfare, the city fell. However, a massive French force was now assembling to recapture the fallen city, potentially undermining all the money and men that Henry had already spent on the campaign. With the clock ticking for the English towards the end of 1415, what would Henry's next move be? First, in a daring move of legendary chivalry, he challenged the portly French Dauphin to a duel, to no avail. So it was that he decided to march right across France and take Calais; a bold public proclamation of his right to the whole of France. Would Henry's plan prove overly ambitious, or would he get the decisive battle he craved…? Join Tom and Dominic as they discuss Henry V's first bloody forays into France, enacting his claim to the French crown that he truly believed was his by divine ordination, and thereby reigniting the tumultuous Hundred Years' War…. _______ *The Rest Is History LIVE in the U.S.A.* If you live in the States, we've got some great news: Tom and Dominic will be performing throughout America in November, with shows in San Francisco, L.A., Chicago, Philadelphia, Washington D.C., Boston and New York. *The Rest Is History LIVE at the Royal Albert Hall* Tom and Dominic, accompanied by a live orchestra, take a deep dive into the lives and times of two of history's greatest composers: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Ludwig van Beethoven.

Iain Dale talks to historian Lauren Mackay about the life and reign of the King who defeated the French at Agincourt.

On the 25th October 1415, the English under Henry V met with the French on the field of Agincourt. The resulting victory, and it was a total victory, has gone down in history alongside Blenheim and Waterloo as the finest by an English or British army. Gordon Corrigan joins to discuss the build up, the internal strife in England and France, the battle itself and the aftermath.

During the summer break, the 15-Minute History podcast team is republishing some of their favorite episodes. This episode, Joan of Arc, originally aired on October 18, 2021. Arrows filled the sky above the battlefield and rained down on the French knights as they slogged through the mud in heavy armor. Their effect was devastating, and hundreds of France's noblest men fell screaming as the English longbowmen poured fire into their ranks. The French commander urged his men forward, while at the other end of the field the King of England, Henry V, watched the battle with a smile on his scarred face. Soon, the English celebrated their great triumph at Agincourt on St. Crispin's Day. It was perhaps the high-point in the long war between the two countries that had begun nearly a hundred years earlier over who would sit on the throne of France. England stood on the threshold of victory, and as its soldiers tended the wounded and drank to their fallen, no one in Henry's army could know that a three-year-old girl living far to the southeast would one day turn the tide of war against them.

History has tended to measure war's winners and losers in terms of its major engagements, battles in which the result was so clear-cut that they could be considered "decisive." Marathon, Cannae, Tours, Agincourt, Austerlitz, Sedan, Stalingrad--all resonate in the literature of war and in our imaginations as tide-turning. But were they? As Cathal J. Nolan demonstrates in The Allure of Battle: A History of How Wars Have Been Won and Lost (Oxford University Press, 2019), victory in major wars usually has been determined in other ways. Even the most legendarily lopsided of battles did not necessarily decide their outcomes. Nolan also challenges the hoary concept of the military "genius," even of the Great Captains--from Alexander to Frederick and Napoleon--mapping instead the decent into total war. The Allure of Battle systematically recreates and analyzes the major campaigns among the Great Powers, from the Middle Ages through the 20th century, from the fall of Byzantium to the defeat of the Axis powers, tracing the illusion of "short-war thinking," the hope that victory might be swift and conflict brief. Such as almost never been the case. Even one-sided battles have mainly contributed to victory or defeat by accelerating erosion of the other side's defenses, resources, and will.

Jerry Brotton offers expert insights into what the playwright's much-quoted history play tells about nationalism and nationhood at the time it was first performed Telling the story of the build-up to and aftermath of the 1415 battle of Agincourt, William Shakespeare's Henry V has sometimes been linked to the nationalistic glorification of war. Yet, as Jerry Brotton reveals, the play also contains more nuanced and complex views of nationhood. The HistoryExtra podcast is produced by the team behind BBC History Magazine.
