Rezensionen

Praise for previous edition:

'This book is a masterpiece, bringing together the collected scholarship of the past several decades and more in a brilliant synthesis that illuminates not only medieval military matters, but the whole "medieval millennium" as well.'

Paul F. Crawford, California University of Pennsylvania, USA

'The perfect introduction to Medieval Warfare for students of history and strategic or security studies. This is an excellent overview which teases out evidence for the continuity of Roman institutions and infrastructure, and furnishes evidence for the complexity of medieval warfare including the complex and discriminating application of military, economic and diplomatic tools - in short, grand strategy. Firmly rooted in source evidence, this remains faithful to contemporary terminology yet helps us interpret it in the light of today's military-strategic vocabulary.'

Beatrice Heuser, University of Reading, UK
