Reviews

'A book like this, written in honor of a specific historian whose writings have been important in military history, will be most interesting to students of Medieval Military History. ... This book is particularly worthy as a scholarly reference for the military history of the Middle Ages, giving a one-volume sample of a broad variety of subjects that deserves a place on library shelves, or on personal bookshelves of researchers who want to appreciate the legacy of excellent research that Bachrach has encouraged through his life and work.' De Re Militari
