Recenzje

"A fundamental book not only for those interested specifically in the Middle Ages, but also for those engaged with the broad range of military history as both description and analysis."Jeremy Black, author of A Short History of War"Morillo has written a cohesive and illuminating volume about a topic that until now hasn't been effectively approached from a global perspective, and he's done it with verve and clarity. Highly recommended!"Professor Tonio Andrade, Emory University
