Product Details

Praise

“Ambitious… With meticulous research and in lively style, Jones presents us with the man beyond the Shakespeare character.”—The New York Times

“Jones is one of our liveliest historians, as well as one of the best informed, and his return to nonfiction after a novel-writing sabbatical elegantly marries the authority and depth of his previous histories with the brio and wit of his fiction. His reappraisal of one of England’s most celebrated but often misunderstood kings is as splendidly readable as ever, full of diverting incident and considered judgment.”—The Observer (UK)

“Jones’s prose hums with energy throughout, and his ability to marry realm-scale intrigue with family drama marks this out as narrative history at its best…. He does, indeed, show us Henry’s life from many angles, reaching towards a more complete picture – and the product is an intense, rich account of an ‘unusual but utterly compelling’ man.”—Telegraph (UK)

“Dan Jones’s lively retelling of Henry’s remarkable story comes down firmly on the positive side, depicting him as a highly effective ruler forged by a difficult upbringing.”—The Times (UK)

“Rousing… Jones’s colorful narrative reads like House of the Dragon minus the dragons; it’s full of pageantry and tumult and betrayal… This stimulating portrait of an iconic ruler roots his glorious deeds in sordid reality.”Publishers Weekly

“Jones specializes in traditional great-men-and-politics histories of the Middle Ages, and this is a good one.”Kirkus Reviews

“The king of exciting narrative history triumphs again. A masterclass in making the medieval addictively readable.”—Lucy Worsley, author of Agatha Christie

“Wildly gripping, swashbuckling, battle-scarred and blood-spattered, in equal parts ferocious, dynamic and political, intimate and humane, the best biography yet of England’s greatest king.”—Simon Sebag Montefiore, author of The Romanovs and Jerusalem

“With his customary combination of profound scholarship and fine narrative verve, Dan Jones brings Henry V to life better than anyone since Shakespeare himself.”—Andrew Roberts, author of Churchill and Napoleon
