Many historians argue that the possession and development of the
longbow was one of the chief facors and foundations in the
development of Britain as a leading military power. Certainly there
is no dispute that English expertise in the longbow was a decisive
factor in English victories in the 100 Years War with France such
as Crecy, Poitiers and Agincourt. This book gives a clear accoout
of archery from the invention of the bow - both longbow and
crossbow - as a weapon of war and an instrument of hunting and
sport. Illustrated with fine and detailed drawings and diagrams,
the volume tells the interested reader all that needs to be known
about bows and arrows.
