Exciting and provocative.. Overall, this courageous, well-written book provides us with a ground-breaking survey. It brings out a story of the Hundred Years War that has long needed to be told, and will deservedly form an essential addition to reading on the subject. HISTORY TODAY For its succinct survey of how war was experienced by ordinary people in late medieval France, Wright's book is a very welcome addition to the literature. INTERNATIONAL HISTORY REVIEW [Michael Jones] This alternative account of peasant life during crisis is a welcome addition to the historiography of late-medieval France... a useful corrective to most standard interpretations of warfare and peasantry. SPECULUM A valuable book on a subject of basic importance. He helps us to see beyond any supposed romance in the chevauchEe to the gritty local world in which force prevailed. AMERICAN HISTORICAL REVIEW [Kaeuper] Thought-proviking work... valuable contribution to 'peasant' studies. * ENGLISH HISTORICAL REVIEW *
