description: The introduction of the longbow &amp; its skillful use by specially trained men was one of the greatest advances in weaponry in the whole history of warfare. A renowned historian re-creates the world of the English bowman, showing us how simple techniques were refined until--by using a group of massed archers--the English had what amounted to long-range artillery. Under the commands of such great English leaders as Edward III, the Black Prince, Henry V, Talbot, Bedford, &amp; Northampton, the English army won every major battle from Morlaix in 1342 to Patay in 1349 &amp; made history on the fields of Crecy, Poitiers, &amp; Agincourt that stirs the imagination even today.
