About This Item
Ithaca, NY: Cornell University Press. Near Fine in Near Fine dust jacket. 1999. First Edition. Hardcover. 0965870081 . The author "emphasizes the significance of four factors in shaping medieval warfare: the dominance of land as a form of wealth, the limited competence of government, the state of technology that favoured defence over attack, and the geography and climate of western Europe. His coverage of the castle and the knight in armour depicts the role of landowners in producing these characteristic medieval instruments of war. In addition, France provides an extensive analysis of battles in which he reconstructs a series of encounters in superb detail." Contains an index, source notes, and a bibliography in the rear.
