This one-volume encyclopedia on the Hundred Years War, which was fought off and on by England and France from 1337 to 1453, was written by independent scholar Wagner, who has been a professor of history and author/contributor to several European and American history books. This work focuses on the war itself. It is meant for students and general readers interested in basic information on persons, places, battles, and military terms of the war. Of the 256 entries, 104 are biographical. Entries are cross-referenced, and their average length is 750 words. Supplementing the entries themselves are a chronology, five maps, a few black-and-white illustrations, eight appendixes (lists of rulers and families, a list of period sources, and a list of battles), a general bibliography of English-language sources, and a list of French-language sources. Recommended. Academic and public libraries serving lower-/upper-division undergraduates and general readers.
