Grade 9 Up—This comprehensive work covers the conflict's "traditional dates" of 1337–1453 with more than 250 alphabetically arranged entries, approximately 104 of which are biographies. The introductory material contains a useful preface describing the scope of the book and the criteria for inclusion; a general chronology; a guide to entries and related topics; and a series of clear, reproducible black-and-white maps. The major battles are covered, as are such topics as artillery, siege warfare, and propaganda. Entries on battles and other events provide background information, detailed descriptions, and summaries of their significance. Biographical entries include particularly extensive see-also references. All entries conclude with a list of further readings. The appendixes contain a chronological list of battles; a list of monarchs, popes, and nobles; and a description of the counties, duchies, and regions of France. Also included is a fascinating annotated list of primary sources—mostly English—and an extensive bibliography. The black-and-white illustrations are few but well chosen. The war is covered in multivolume reference sets like Joseph R. Strayer's Dictionary of the Middle Ages (Scribner's, 1989), but not in this depth. This work will fill a gap in reference collections.—Elizabeth M. Reardon, McCallie School, Chattanooga, TN
