John A. Wagner has taught British and U.S. history at Phoenix College and at Arizona State University. He holds a BA from the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh and an MA and PhD from Arizona State University. He is the author of The Devon Gentleman: The Life of Sir Peter Carew (1998), The Historical Dictionary of the Elizabethan World (1999), which was a History Book Club Selection, The Encyclopedia of the Wars of the Roses (2001), and Bosworth Field to Bloody Mary: An Encyclopedia of the Early Tudors (2003). He is also a contributor to the Historical Dictionary of Late Medieval England, 1272-1485 (2002), to Women in the Middles Ages: An Encyclopedia (2004), and to the Encyclopedia of American Race Riots (2006).

This one-volume encyclopedia on the Hundred Years War, which was fought off and on by England and France from 1337 to 1453, was written by independent scholar Wagner, who has been a professor of history and author/contributor to several European and American history books. This work focuses on the war itself. It is meant for students and general readers interested in basic information on persons, places, battles, and military terms of the war. Of the 256 entries, 104 are biographical. Entries are cross-referenced, and their average length is 750 words. Supplementing the entries themselves are a chronology, five maps, a few black-and-white illustrations, eight appendixes (lists of rulers and families, a list of period sources, and a list of battles), a general bibliography of English-language sources, and a list of French-language sources. Recommended. Academic and public libraries serving lower-/upper-division undergraduates and general readers.
