![]() ![]() I have read nonfiction books by Dan Jones for years now, and I have thoroughly enjoyed the amount of detail he puts into each book. In the horrors of war in a foreign land, can the Essex Dogs keep their promise and stay alive? Dan Jones introduces the world to these ten men and the early stage of the Hundred Years’ War in his first historical fiction novel, “Essex Dogs.” They do not fight for money or glory they fight for each other. One company of men consists of ten men known as the Essex Dogs, led by Loveday FitzTalbot. Amongst the English royalty, nobility, and regular soldiers, are companies of men who came of their own accord for money and glory. King Edward III, his son Edward of Woodstock, and his lords launched the first stage of what would be known as the Hundred Years’ War. The year is 1346, and numerous English ships have landed on the shores of France. ![]()
