Dogs of Essex

A global bestseller from the era of the Hundred Years' War.

July 1346. Ten men land on a beach in Normandy. They call themselves the Essex Dogs, an unruly company of archers led by a battle-hardened captain who has seen better days.

This group of brothers-in-arms advances deeper and deeper into enemy territory towards Crécy, realising they are heading towards a battle that will go down in history. First, however, they must survive a bloody war in which the rules of chivalry no longer apply. The battle for the throne of Western Europe's greatest kingdom has just begun.

The Essex Dogs brings the reader the raw reality of medieval warfare and daily life, drawing on the author's extensive experience in popularising history.
