This is a splendid book both about warfare and the Middle East. A
team of leading experts surveys the different phases of military
conflict and expansion from Charlemagne, through the Vikings to the
Hundred Years War. They also explore the arts of warfare including
fortifications and siege tactics, naval battles and the use of
mercenaries, and the changes in technology from armour and horses
to guns and explosives. While eminently scholarly these are essays
for the general reader, beautifully illustrated. The result is a
delight to read and to own. (Kirkus UK)
Written by twelve expert historians, this well-illustrated account of the great confrontations of medieval Europe (c.700-1500) examines major developments in the methods of warfare from the time of Charlemagne through to the end of the Crusades. The result is a rich and fascinating history of a culture steeped in martial ideas, whose aristocrats were also warriors in a society organized by its desire to wage war.
