A good ... • Read full review Updated Nov 7, 2005 ![]() An Historical Guide to Arms & Armor by Stephen Bull ![]() Describes portable arms and armor from the time of the Greeks and Romans to the early nineteenth century
![]() As with most coffee table books this one hits the high points without going into a huge amount of detail. It's a good book for the beginner and a worthwhile addition to a larger library due to the inclusion of many large hi-quality photos. Updated Nov 7, 2005 ![]() Warriors of Christendom by John Matthews ![]() illustrated history of the Crusades
![]() This book is one of the usual compilations that Osprey often publishes as an attempt to convince the reader that they're getting something new.

![]() This book is a bit of a disappointment. It is interesting from an historical perspectiive, however, nordic methods of warfare aren't gone into with as much detail as the title would suggest. A good general reference addition to any library but hardly a stand-alone ... • Read full review Updated Nov 7, 2005 ![]() Hastings 1066 by Georges Bernage ![]() Hastings is perhaps the most famous battle ever fought on English soil and resulted in William, Duke of Normandy, becoming King of England. Popularly known as ...
![]() To say that I am disappointed in this book would be an understatement. In fact, this book could more accurately be described as 'Hastings: what not to do".
