Reviews

This very interesting set of essays on medieval military and naval history (has) no consistent theme beyond a desire to question the assumptions of past generations of historians, and to provide fresh answers, and this is done admirably. MEDIEVAL REVIEW (US) Valuable collection... Illustrates the remarkable vitality of medieval military history. All essays have something new to offer, and many point to major new developments. JOURNAL OF MILITARY HISTORY (US) Well-crafted essays... can be strongly recommended to those interested in military organization and the practice of war in medieval Europe (the twelfth and tyhirteenth centuries are particularly well served).
