Crécy, Poitiers, Agincourt… the history of the Hundred Years' War as it is taught is punctuated solely by great land battles, chevauchées across France, and sieges of towns and fortresses. Reading these accounts, one would never imagine that this long conflict was also a naval war — that squadrons clashed at sea, that numerous merchant vessels were sunk or captured, that entire armies landed on the beaches of Normandy, at the same spot as the Allies in 1944. Guy Le Moing recounts here the Hundred Years' War at sea: the naval and amphibious operations to which it gave rise, the adventures of the official fleets as well as those of the privateers. An unprecedented and gripping epic, drawn largely from the accounts of contemporary chroniclers.
