Title : Agincourt in the Rain - Jean Teulé - book
Summary :
Agincourt, a pretty village name, the vague memory of a lost battle. On October 25, 1415, it was raining heavily in Artois. A few thousand English soldiers, who were only thinking of returning home, found themselves trapped by a superior French force. Booted, helmeted, armored, armed to the teeth, proudly brandishing their standards, all the aristocrats of the French court rushed to participate in the slaughter. They fully intended to cover themselves in glory, in the grand tradition of French chivalry. None would return alive. All the armies of the world have, at one time or another, taken a beating, but for a disaster of this magnitude, only one word is required: grandiose! With his well-known verve and his killer attention to detail, Jean Teulé tells us about those three hellish days when, in the pouring rain, thousands of men massacred each other in a bloody confrontation that was all the more disastrous because the battle was completely pointless.
