Armies and Warfare in the Middle Ages: The English Experience

Rating:
Summary: Excellent Survey of English Medieval Warfare
Review: As a specialist in late-medieval English military history (& author of a book on Edward III's military strategy), I can say with confidence that Michael Prestwich's survey of English medieval military history is one of high quality. It is well written, and contains a nice blend of "war and society" and "sharp end" styles of military history. The level of scholarship is high enough that even specialists will learn from reading it, yet general readers will not find the book beyond their reach.
