## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Excellent intro into medieval battle tactics
  

*by B***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 14, 2012*

If your only knowledge of early medieval tactics is based on Robin Hood movies this is a good book to read about the reality.  Most Tactic series books cover a few years of a specific war; this book spans centuries. True technology didn't change that much, but Nicolle does demonstrate how the tactics changed in response to new threats.  Hook's illustrations definitely add to the overall package.  Highly recommend for anyone interested in this period.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Medieval Cavalry
  

*by J***0 on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 15, 2012*

This book was an easy and enjoyable read.  It covered some areas I hadn't read about before.  I believe anyone looking to get a solid background in medieval cavalry, should consider this an addition to their reading list.

### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Very detailed examination of tactics--but a bit scattered
  

*by S***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 21, 2013*

This slender Osprey volume shows an author with great awareness and knowledge4 of military tactics from 450 to 1260. The title emphasizes cavalry, but the book also considers other units, including infantry and archers, for example. The geographic scope is expansive--from England and Scotland and Ireland and Wales to the Scandinavian realm to western, central and eastern Europe to the Middle East and so on.One theme is the alleged centrality of cavalry and the varying tactics across the geographic range. The author also raises questions about overemphasis on cavalry. One strength of the book is diagrams of battles illustrating tactics in combat. The depictions provide a way of giving the reader a good sense of the dynamics of battle (e.g., battles at Catraeth [600], Lech [955], Hastings [1066], Bremule [1119], and so on).While the author is extraordinarily well versed (as far as I can tell), the actual narrative is wearying. Fact after fact, description after description, short snippets from varying regions,. makes this a sometimes challenging read.Still and all, in the end I learned a great deal from this work, a part of Osprey's "Elite" series. And that is a real contribution.
