About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of England and the Hundred Years' War by Charles William Chadwick Oman. Read in English by Pamela Nagami. This little book by the British military historian, Charles Oman, begins with the accession of the warrior king, Edward III, to the English throne in 1327 and ends with the downfall of Richard III at Bosworth Field in 1485. By carrying the story of the Hundred Years' War through the Wars of the Roses, Oman portrays this era of battle and plague within the larger context of the dynastic struggles and civil wars which destabilized England and left France vulnerable to invasion and conquest. Summary by Pamela Nagami.
