London: Greenhill, 1999. 576 pp, small 4to (10" H). B&w drawings, maps. "David Nicolle, in this second volume of his comprehensive study of military weapons and equipment at the time of the Crusades, examines the arms and armour actually used by Muslim, Orthodox Christian and Mongol armies. Emphasising the evolution of military technology, fashion and science during a period of tumult and change, this definitive study throws light on Eastern Europe and Asia as old empires decayed and the new powers emerged. (It) examines the key elements of arms and equipment for each specific power or ethnic group. Conclusions are then linked to hundreds of superbly detailed line drawings based on archaeological evidence, iconography and contemporary accounts. With chapters on Byzantium and its military decline, Armenia, the growing might of the lands of the Rus, the Eastern Balkans, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Syria, Arabia, the Mongol Hordes, as well as China and India, this is an essential study of…

Description:
London: Bison, 1988. 192 pp, 4to (12 1/8" H). Profusely illustrated in colour and b&w with photographs, reproductions, drawings. "A member of the aristocracy, from the tenth century the Samurai was primarily a mounted archer. This is reflected in the light, lamellar yoroi armour which left the right arm free for drawing his bow. Helmets were simple, with leather neckpieces. Battle began with an exchange of arrows, and was followed by a series of hand-to-hand combats among champions who relied on the sword. The long wars of Kusonoki and Ashikaga produced several changes in the nature of warfare. Fighting in wooded, mountainous countryside, hand-to-hand combat came into its own. The bulky yoroi was superceded by the lighter, less constricting do maru and the no dachi, a longer version of the naginata (glaive), was introduced. The renowned Samurai cult of the sword began in this period. The Samurai's most ornate and elaborate armour dates from the Tokugawa era, and was probably not…

Description:
Washington, D.C.: Brassey's, 2001. 128 pp, 11 1/4" H. "The crusades, of which there were several, conducted by many forcees from different nations, were ultimately unsuccessful, the last crusaders being forced out of the Holy Land in 1291. However, as this fascinating history shows, they did serve to advance many military concepts. Notable among these were the logistics involved in moving thousands of combined forces across frequently hostile regions; fortifications and siege warfare; and armour and weapons. There were heroes and villians, too - again on both sides - and examples of great generalship, military ineptitude, magnamity, and atrocity. The most notable leaders during these conflicts were Richard I, Lionheart, King of England, and the saracen commander, Saladin. While they never met, each had a justifiable respect for the other. This handsome volume encapsulates all the intriguing contrasts between the combatant forces, outlining the formation of the Christian Military…
