Description

|
|
|
What qualities made Attila the Hun a strategic genius? How did Henry V of England lose only a few hundred men at Agincourt, while French knights died by the thousands? Why was Hernán Cortés able to bring down the powerful Aztec empire with a ragged band of men? Andrew Roberts assembles essays from such historians as Jonathan Sumption, Felipe Fernández-Armesto, and John Julius Norwich to portray the lives and careers of the 25 greatest military commanders of the medieval period, from William the Conqueror, Genghis Khan, and the Black Prince to Tamerlaine, Joan of Arc, and Süleyman the Magnificent.
