Henry V: The Astonishing Triumph of England's Greatest Warrior King | Dan Jones

This is my first time doing a Reading Bracket. It's harder than I thought to get the pic of the book just right. Anyway, Henry V was by far my favorite of January. I always learn new things when I read a Dan Jones book.

BethM That was so freaking hard for me that I printed it and wrote my answers in each month 😂 doing the same thing this time 🙃 1d

RamsFan1963 @BethM I might switch to that method, I'll see how it goes 1d

pick

I finished this audio history book a few days ago. Dan Jones writes the most lively books! This one completes his Medieval English history trilogy and connects The Plantagenets and The Wars of the Roses. I wish Dan Jones narrated more books because he‘s so engaging to listen to! Highly recommend!!

RamsFan1963 Yes I enjoyed Jones narration of Henry V more than I've liked John Curless's narration on The War of The Roses. 2w

bibliothecarivs I recently found a like-new hardback copy of Henry V for only $5 at a local charity shop! I really enjoyed Jones' Summer of Blood (paperback) and Plantagenets (audiobook), although the narration of the latter by Clive Chafer was boring. 2w

05/100 Dan Jones never fails to entertain and educate. If you want to understand English History this is the author to read. Like Mary Beard with Roman History, Jones work is full of details, from major events like the Battle of Agincourt to seemingly minor things that had a big impact of Henry before he became King. Henry V was a complex man, full of contradictions, he was pious and religious, but he was also cruel, easily angered, and vengeful.

RamsFan1963 I think what raises this above the average biography of Henry V, is the time Jones spends on him when he's still the Prince of Wales. We see how events in Wales, and Scotland, shaped Henry's personality, how Richard II and Henry V reigns played a big part in how Henry V chose to rule his kingdom. 5 🌟 read 3w

Amiable I received this as my #jolabokaflodswap gift —so glad to hear that it‘s good! 3w
