Trial by Fire - Jonathan Sumption

Trial by Fire is the second volume in Jonathan Sumption's history of the Hundred Years War, covering events including the Estates-General of 1356-1357 and the crisis in Paris under the Dauphin. This is the BCA hardback edition, published in 2000 by arrangement with Faber and Faber, edition number CN 6514.

The dust jacket carries a medieval-style cover illustration of armoured knights in battle at a castle, with the title in yellow and white lettering on a dark blue background. The spine repeats the title and author in the same colour scheme, with a portion of the cover image reproduced on it.

Internally, the paper is cream-coloured and the print is clear and legible, as seen on the sample page shown. The copyright page confirms the publication details as above. The book presents in good order, consistent with a well-kept secondhand hardback.
