Book Description
This is the story of an age when everything had a price and mercenary companies were vastly rich corporations. By alternately besieging and protecting the richest pickings in Europe--Florence, Milan, Siena, and Pisa--John Hawkwood became the most wily, reliable, and successful mercenary leader of his time, leading the Italians to conclude that Rthe Devil is an Englishman.
