This is a comparative study of how the societies of late-medieval England and France reacted to the long period of conflict between them commonly known as the Hundred Years War. Beginning with an outline of the events of the war, the book continues with an analysis of contemporary views regarding the war. Two chapters follow that describe the military aim of the protagonists, military and naval organization, recruitment, and the raising of taxes. The remainder of the book describes and analyzes some of the main social and economic effects of war upon society, the growth of a sense of national consciousness in time of conflict, and the social criticism that came from those who reacted to changes and development brought about by war.

Editorial Reviews

Review

'Allmand writes lucidly, does not talk down, and is the master of his subject, as familiar with the primary sources as with the modern literature. The information, analysis and judicious comment which he packs into only 172 pages of text makes The Hundred Years War a model of its kind.' The Times Literary Supplement

'Dr Allmand writes well on the progress of the war, and in one or two important respects revises Perroy's influential narrative. The distinguishing feature of this book is, however, the attempt to place the conflict in a wider social, economic and cultural setting … Probably never before for the English reader has the Hundred Years War been placed in a broader context.' History

Book Description

This book makes an important general contribution to the history of war in medieval times, and opens up new and original perspectives on a familiar topic.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice try, but not an astonishing one, not even for a "summary"
Reviewed in the United States on October 28, 2010
Verified Purchase
This is a nice book for getting into the fascinating theme, but it has its flaws.

The main problem with it is: First chapters are way better, both in data and writing, but the more you progress towards the last page, the text becomes more unsubstantial and boring, with some chapters -imho- that are not even worth reading, specially the last chapters, wich are full of void considerations and interpretations of no interest at all.

Anyway, don't hesitate to give it a try if you are not into the subject. I wish the author could write another version of this without the last 30 pages.

5.0 out of 5 stars A lot of knowledge about more than just the battles
Reviewed in the United States on March 19, 2009

I was looking for a text book, as opposed to a novel, about the Hundred Years War between England and France. Allmand's book is full of information about how the war affected the transition from middle ages feudalism to nation states, more centralized government (ugh!), and values at the time. If you want detailed battle descriptions, this is not the book to read. If you want to learn a lot about the period, this is it. The book is both factual and insightful.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent analysis of English/French medieval rivalry
Reviewed in the United States on October 20, 2000
Christopher Allmand has taken a very long timeframe of medieval rivalry between the two great powers of the time, England and France and has done an excellent job of describing the begining, preperation and culmination of a very Bloody and Nasty war between England and France. These two great nations were always antagonistic with each other and had finally reached a "boiling point" around 1300, thus declaring official and unofficial war with each other that did not end until the beginning of the 19th century. Allmand doesn't use schollarly details to confuse the reader, he writes in a good prose and is easy to understand the background of the French and English Kings who honestly did not like each other, even though in most circumstances they were related to each other by blood or marriage. This book also gives analysis of how the war between these two nations affected the innocent victims such as the villiagers, serfs and even nobility. This was a war of gaining territory, sacking villiages in the name of the King, very nasty and terrible battles and political status in Medieval Europe. I highly recommend this book to all who want to know about how the rivalry between England and France developed and how the rivalry led to war that made it not just a hundred year war, but a war that lasted well over 400 years.

4.0 out of 5 stars Realmente didáctico

Así es como deberían ser todos los libros de enseñanza: didácticos, amenos y bien escritos. Que un libro "enseñe" no significa necesariamente que aburra. Este libro me ha parecido realmente bueno y lo recomiendo a todo aquel interesado en la Edad Media.
