5.0 out of 5 stars THE book on the events of 1066, 21 Mar 2001
By A Customer
Bradbury is not merely an author who has turned his attention to the Battle of Hastings, he is a historian who has spent many years studying the events of 1066 and the years leading up to it. Even now, almost a thousand years on the Norman Conquest is a topic of much hot debate. Many other books describe the events with their own (normally anti-Norman agenda). Bradbury is an author and writer of sufficient calibre to be above such things and this book is the best book on 1066. If you only read one book on 1066, then it should be this book. If you plan to read more then you should start with it. That way you will be able to spot what is wrong with the others.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good, but not the best, 16 Oct 2006
By Andrew Walker "andrewwalker66" (Scotland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Battle of Hastings (Paperback)
Jim Bradbury covers familiar ground here, with the build-up to the "crisis" of 1066 tat ended Anglo-Saxon England, ending with Hastings and William the Bastard being crowned king. (Hope that doesn't count as a plot-spoiler ...) <br />It is a readable account and the thing I really liked about this book was the way the author discussed some of disagreements in interpretation and then came to his own conclusions I was especially intrigued by the discussion about whether the "accepted" location for the Battle of Hastings, Senlac Hill, actually fitted with the different sources.
