Reviews

The author makes an argument that medieval military historians should look into, and as a bonus they will also read some riveting examples of interesting medieval operations.
*SIXTEENTH CENTURY JOURNAL*

An entertaining but also learned book, from which it is possible to glean much about medieval military history.
*BBC HISTORY MAGAZINE*

This is a wide-ranging study, which sets medieval warfare in a novel perspective.
*EHR*

Highly readable.[...]This is a popular book, but a scholarly one and a worthy addition to the well-known series Warfare in History.
*CRUSADES*

Recommended. CHOICE A splendid book. [...] Provided me with more food for thought than I have come upon in any book on medieval warfare in the past decade. HOBILAR, Journal of the Lance & Longbow Society, March 2008
