Reviews

'This is a thought-provoking account of early cavalry which spans the Old World. That Robert Drews is able to illuminate previously dark corners of the past owes as much to this broad perspective as it does to his handling of finds stretching right across steppe and sownlands.' - Arthur Cotterell, BBC History Magazine 'This is a valuable work ... there is little to fault ... one that will make a worthwhile addition to the shelves of research libraries.' - BMCR
