Man and Horse is a magisterial history of the mounted warrior and
the relationship with his steed. Andrew Sinclair takes as his
inspiration Walter Prescott Webb's seminal work, The Great Plains.
The horse until very recently has been the decisive factor in
determining military success. Great exponents of the art of
equestrian warfare include, Alexander the Great, Hannibal, King
Arthur, Saladin, the Knights of the Templar, the Reivers of the
Scottish Borders, the Mongols, North American Indians, the
Confederate forces during the American Civil War and the Boers.
Sinclair also explores the uses of the horse by highwaymen and
figures such as Ned Kelly. Andrew Sinclair brilliantly shows that
the art of warfare from horseback with its culture of mobility has
always been at conflict with the urban domesticated culture. This
tension has created much of the great art and culture of humankind.
This is a hugely ambitious and exhilarating book that cannot fail
to enthral and stimulate.
