Title: Sir John Hawkwood (by Stephen Cooper)
Post by: LondonPete51 on 11 November 2014, 02:29:25 PM
Good Afternoon All,

Seems to be quite a bit of information doing the rounds on Hawkwood at present. Recently read the book by Frances Stonor Saunders 'Hawkwood - Diabolical Englishman :-bd Excellent.

Have just noticed a (new?) book by Stephen Cooper called 'Sir John Hawkwood: Chivalry & the art of war' by Stephen Cooper. Has anyone read this?

Peter

I have the Saunders one, its a good read, though I dont have anything else on the period to compare it with so not sure how factual and accurate  it is
