Being one of the "Elite Series" the coverage of the fighters of three important medieval states is expanded by this number. The most serious flaw is the set of photographs. The bulk of them are poorly lit, and grainy. Thus detail is lost, and while the argument may be advanced that more modern pictures might well be difficult to get due to modern construction or lighting, they are often not illustrations useful to the readers. that said, the twelve plates are colourful, and detailed, and one of them covers medieval ship types. overall, the book is useful, but not brilliant.

Osprey's study of the Normans during the Middle Ages. Despite the small geographic extent of Normandy its people played a crucial role in the history of the medieval world. Ferocity, boundless energy, cunning and a capacity for leadership were their heritage, to which modern scholars would add supreme adaptability and a simple piety. Their amazing military successes resulted from careful planning, speed of movement, decisiveness, daring and sheer ruthlessness. Added to this was a strong business sense and an appreciation of the value of money. Veteran Osprey author David Nicolle describes the history, arms and armour of the remarkable Normans in this fascinating volume. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
