Lords of Battle The World of the Celtic Warrior (World of the Warrior) Hardback - 2007

Media reviews

"The Celtic warrior of the late iron Age was the archtypal barbarian: savage, undisciplined and bloodthirsty beyond belief. In a clash of cultures that lasted almost 500 years, the vibrant society in which he lived, fought and did was virtually destroyed, becoming a myth and legend... This amazing book invites readers to the wonderful journey in the Ancient World." -Neoproprealism (May 2008)

"...published by Osprey is the beautifully illustrated study of the Celtic warrior class... Lords of Battle is an excellent read." -Coastal Defense Journal

"...blend[s] lovely color illustration throughout with a survey rich in Celtic history...covering everything from appearance and dress to arms and rebellions. While its narrowed scope will appeal primarily to specialty holdings and libraries strong in early Celtic history, these collections will find the military focus unique and worthy of acquisition." -The Bookwatch Midwest Book Review

"Thanks to a desire by the 'winning' side to erase all memories and artifacts of the Celts, recent research has turned up a considerable amount of information on these peoples and in particular how they fought. Stephen Allen has put all this into one lavishly illustrated volume... Osprey hardcover books are an outstanding value for the money and you can buy these with confidence that you are getting the best." -Scott Van Aken, mdoelingmadness.com
