Dan Jones (@d_a_n_jones) is not only an exceptional historian but also a riveting storyteller. In his new book, "Henry V," he delivers a master class on the dramatic life and leadership of England’s preeminent medieval monarch. Though Henry reigned over England for less than a decade and died at just 35, he looms over the landscape of the late Middle Ages and beyond. Shakespeare indelibly presented him as a study in youthful folly transformed into sober statesmanship. Jones considers Henry’s reign “a case study in the art of leadership in a time of crisis.” Join one of the most entertaining historians writing today for a deep—and deeply relevant—dive into the thrilling and unmissable life of England’s greatest king. Watch the full talk now, for free, at svwc.com/video.
