Sir John Hawkwood (by Stephen Cooper)

[LondonPete51]

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 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?

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
