Reviews

Although written by academics the text is accessible without losing scientific rigour. Both the objectives of the book and the series as stated in the introduction have certainly been achieved. Aljubarrota concurrently has a strong national importance for Portugal while it is of little significance to today’s Spain, which justifies the authors’ approach. -- Carlos Afonso * International Journal of Military History and Historiography, 40 *
