What We Are Reading Today: Henry V by Dan Jones

Dan Jones’ “Henry V” examines the life and leadership of England’s greatest medieval king.

in 1413, when Henry V ascended to the English throne, his kingdom was hopelessly torn apart by a political faction but in less than ten years, he turned it all around. by common consensus in his day, and for hundreds of years afterward, Henry was the greatest medieval king that ever lived.

A historical titan, Henry V transcends the Middle Ages which produced him, and his life story has much to teach us today.
