First published in 1898, and following on from Volume 1, this
second volume charts the history of medieval warfare from 1278 to
1485. Written by Sir Charles Oman, one of the great medievalists of
his time, this book remains for students and general readers one of
the best accounts of military art in the Middle Ages. Many of the
chapters have been re-written in view of new research. This edition
is based on Methuen's 1978 revised and enlarged edition, which
includes new chapters on the Swiss Confederacy, the Tartars, the
Ottoman Turks, The Italian Condottieri, the English campaigns in
France in the 15th century, the Wars of the Roses, and the early
employment of artillery.
Written by one of the most eminent, (if sometimes disputed)
historians of the 20th century, this book, originally published in
1939, gives guidance to the would-be historian on historical
sources, research and evidence. Although inevitably a product of
its time, this volume nonetheless remains one of the most
comprehensive guides to historiograhy.
