Medieval Warrior: Weapons, Technology, and Fighting Techniques, AD 1000-1500

Se anuncia como la gran cosa, pero no lo es, hay revistas, y artículos mucho mejores.

As this book was a gift for my son, I'm basing my review on his opinion : a detailed informative book with lots of illuminating battle plans, line drawings to illustrate techniques and full-colour contemporary illustrations.

Excellent et très complet. Beaucoup d'illustrations intéressantes. Je kiffe.

Finally decided to give this book a read even though I read it a while ago. Love it! I am writing my first novel, and this heavily expanded my mind on the lives, training and tactics in the medieval times. Best material I’ve read on the subject to date, and it is organized with good pictures as well.

Over all this is a beautiful introduction into the world of medieval amour weapons & combat . The color pictures of the battles are awesome & give you a great look at the art style of the time with the color plates. This book does not go into great detail about combat styles & if your looking for a book to help train you in medieval weapons systems this is not what your looking for. The line drawings are exceptionally good and translate the fighting techniques at a glance! This book is a great window into history and a nice balance of personal combat, siege warfare & many different medieval warfare strategy's covering a broad scope of a lot of different subject matter without delving deeply into any one area. It is straight forward and easy to comprehend & is worth the price for the line drawings & plates & paintings alone. But I can't help but reiterate that vast amount of medieval subject matter that is covered in this one volume! It is a great compendium to go along with training codex's, treatise's & other fight manuals! If you have a interest in medieval warfare this is a great addition to your library!
