3. Description this book
Contemporaries considered Edward III of England "the wisest and shrewdest warrior in
the world", but he has not fared so well in the estimation of modern historians, many of
whom have argued that he was a fine tactician but a poor strategist. This is despite the
fact that by 1360 the English had become the foremost martial nation of Europe; that
famous victories had been won at Dupplin Moor, Halidon Hill, Crécy, and Poitiers;
and David II of Scotland and Jean II of France were Edward s prisoners, and the
French, with the Treaty of Brétigny, had agreed to surrender a third of their kingdom
to his sovereign rule in exchange for peace. In War Cruel and Sharp, Professor Rogers
offers a powerfully argued and thoroughly researched reassessment of the military and
political strategies which Edward III and the Black Prince employed to achieve this
astounding result. Using a narrative framework, he makes the case that the
Plantagenets ultimate success came from adapting the strategy which Robert Bruce
