For over 150 years, from 1314 to 1485, England fought an almost
continuous war with its neighbours: the Campaign of the North when
the armies of Robert the Bruce were vanquished, the long,
one-hundred-and-sixteen-year conflict with France, finally
imploding into bloody civil strife in the Wars of the Roses. Too
often attention has been focused on the bravery of knights and
archers during these conflicts, yet face to face confrontations
were few. Peter Reid proposes that England's ability to discipline,
provision and finance such a long campaign was at the heart of its
success. England's strength derived from an entire nation being put
on a total war footing. Campaigns were won, not just on the
battlefield, but through the careful marshalling of troops and
supplies. Interweaving his argument with a dramatic recreation of
the main events of the campaigns on land and at sea, Peter Reid
presents a new perspective on this turning point in English
history. A Brief History of Medieval Warfare is both gripping and
powerfully persuasive.
