About This Book

A newly crowned king asserts a dynastic claim to a neighboring realm, mounts a military campaign, besieges a fortified town, rallies his forces with stirring speeches, and achieves an unexpected victory against superior numbers. Scenes shift between battlefield action and courtly negotiations, with a chorus addressing the audience and compressing events. The drama probes leadership and rhetoric, the burdens and compromises of command, the harsh realities and camaraderie of soldiers, and the contrast between public triumph and the private costs of war.
