272 Pages Indexed. Beautiful blue cloth with gold spine lettering and embossed logo on front. Dust Jacket protected with vinyl covering. Pristine condition. Spanning some 1,000 years from the fall of the Roman empire to the Reformation, the medieval period was a time of immense diversity in military practice. This book brings together authoritative accounts not only of European and Middle Eastern warfare, but also of Central Asian, Indian, Chinese and Japanese conflict. Organized chronologically, the book encompasses everything from Charlemagne's empire building, the Viking invasions of northern Europe and the Christian crusades against Islam to Mongol horse-archers, the Teutonic knights of Germany, the English longbowmen, the gunpowder revolution, the Ottoman threat to Europe and Samurai warfare. The Medieval World at War contains vivid accounts of tactics, troop types, battles, fortifications and siege techniques, and examines the underlying political and military strategies that were shaped by the clash of often very different social and ideological systems. Also included are feature boxes on key topics ranging from battles such as Tours, Agincourt and the siege of Constantinople to weaponry and armor from England to Japan. Eyewitness accounts and 3-D battle reconstructions bring the story dramatically to life. With 264 illustrations, 204 in color. Contents in 10 Chapters: Byzantium Against Persia and Islam 530-750, From Barbarian Kingdoms to the Carolingian Empire 500-850, New Invaders of Christendom Muslims, Vikings, Russians, Magyars and Normans 800-1066, The Revival of Latin Christendom and the Crusades in the East 1050-1250, Nomads Triumphant Mongols, Mamluks and the Later Crusades 1250-1400, The Teutonic Knights and the Northern Crusades 1200-1450, The Challenge to Chivalry Longbow and Pike 1275-1475, The Gunpowder Revolution 1300-1500, The Ottoman Challenge The Conquest of Constantinople and Military Expansion in Europe 1350-1550, and The Wider World Warfare in India China Korea and Japan 500-1500.…
