Rycerz krzyżacki 1190-1561
ISBN: 9788378897101 / Polski / Miękka / 2018 / 66 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 6-8 dni roboczych. Zmilitaryzowany zakon krzyżacki był jedną z najsławniejszych kongregacji braci-rycerzy, dorównując nawet szpitalnikom i templariuszom. Z początku zadanie rycerzy skupiało się na utrzymaniu państw łacinników na Bliskim Wschodzie, lecz utrata posiadłości ziemskich w tym rejonie w XIII wieku skłoniła zakon do wzięcia udziału w krucjatach nad Morzem Bałtyckim, wymierzonych w pogańskich Prusów, prawosławnych Rusinów oraz swego katolickiego sąsiada, Królestwo Polskie. Niniejsza praca omawia tę ciekawą grupę zmilitaryzowanych zakonników, przybliżając przy pomocy...

Knight Hospitaller (2): 1306 1565
ISBN: 9781841762159 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 64 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Having campaigned on land during their early existence, the Hospitallers fought mainly at sea from the turn of the 14th century. The emphasis was now on small-scale operations, rather than the crusading invasion that had so often come to grief. Having conquered Rhodes, the Order fortified it and transferred there in 1309. A period of on-off warfare with the Mamluks became full-blown conflict with the Ottomans, who captured Rhodes in 1522, forcing the Hospitallers to transfer to Malta. This book, the second of two, takes a close look at the men who lived and died for the Hospitaller cause in...

The Age of Charlemagne
ISBN: 9780850450422 / Angielski / Miękka / 1984 / 48 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Most historians agree that the Carolingian Age, from the 8th to the 10th Century AD, represented one of the most important turning points in European history. It can be said with some certainty that early Carolingian military success was built on good leadership, adequate administration, and troops whose morale was almost consistently superb. It is also clear that the Carolingian army managed to adapt itself to face many and differing foes. This absorbing text by David Nicolle explores the organization and history of the Carolingian Empire during the age of one of history's most romanticised...

Carolingian Cavalryman Ad 768-987
ISBN: 9781841766454 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 64 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The army of Charlemagne and his successors enabled the western Franks to recreate what contemporaries regarded as a 'reborn' western Roman empire. Frankish society was well prepared for war, with outstanding communications drawing together the disparate regions of a large empire. The role of mounted troops, the essential striking force of the Frankish army, is explored here. Alongside it was the impact that new technology, such as stirrups, had on warfare in this period. Illuminating a much-neglected area of history, this book shows how the role of cavalry grew in prestige, as the Carolingian...

Italian Medieval Armies 1000 1300
ISBN: 9781841763224 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 48 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. As early as the 11th century, Italian warfare was developing along lines which were unique in medieval Europe. This fragmented, cosmopolitan region, increasingly rich from international trade, saw the rise of independent cities able to fund armies of urban militia, sometimes defying the traditional feudal aristocracy. Against this background regional powers - the Normans, the Papacy, the German Emperors, the Angevins and Aragonese - manoeuvred for advantage. This engrossing account of the armies of northern and southern Italy - their organisation, command structure, strategy, tactics and...

Yarmuk Ad 636: The Muslim Conquest of Syria
ISBN: 9781855324145 / Angielski / Miękka / 1994 / 96 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Osprey's Campaign title for one of the battles in which Muslims attempted to overtake Syria. In 636 AD, after protracted skirmishing and minor engagements the Arab and Byzantine armies faced each other on the banks of the Yarmuk river. The Byzantines were initially successful, driving back the Arab right wing. Finally, though, the Arab counter-attacks broke the Byzantine lines and the subsequent pursuit became a rout. The awful fate of the fleeing Byzantine soldiers was remembered for several generations until it was recorded in early Islamic histories. David Nicolle not only looks at the...

Romano-Byzantine Armies 4th-9th Centuries
ISBN: 9781855322240 / Angielski / Miękka / 1992 / 48 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Although the Byzantine Empire was a continuation of the Roman Empire and faced similar military problems, its solutions were very different. In North Africa, for example, Rome's large army concentrated on securing main roads and urban centres. Byzantium's smaller army built more fortifications and took a defensive stance. The most striking characteristic of later Byzantine military thinking was, however, the theme or provincial army system, which owed nothing to ancient Roman tradition. With eight superb full colour plates by Angus McBride, and many other illustrations, David Nicolle examines...

European Medieval Tactics (2): New Infantry, New Weapons 1260-1500
ISBN: 9781849087391 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 64 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Longbows, crossbows, heavy spears, swiss pikes, catapaults, and especially gunpowder artillery and handheld guns such as the arquebus gradually but profoundly changed European warfare. By about 1260 the steady rise of the European heavily armoured mounted knight to the predominant role in most pitched battles was complete. But though he dominated the actual day of battle, he did not dominate warfare - there were plenty of vital though unglamorous tasks for which footsoldiers were still necessary, 'cleaning up round the edges'. With the development in the 13th century of co-operative...

Italian Medieval Armies 1300-1500
ISBN: 9780850454772 / Angielski / Miękka / 1983 / 48 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Mercenaries were a common feature throughout most of Europe in the 14th and 15th centuries, and had been known far earlier. But nowhere did such a sophisticated system of hiring, payment and organisation of mercenaries develop as it did in Italy. The condottiere - whose name came from the condotta or contract between himself and his employer - was the result. Whether commander or humble trooper, the condottiere was a complete professional. His skill has never been doubted, but his loyalty and dedication to a particular cause often has. David Nicolle provides a fascinating exploration of the...

Manzikert 1071: The Breaking of Byzantium
ISBN: 9781780965031 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 96 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. On 26 August 1071 a large Byzantine army under Emperor Romanus IV met the Saljuq Turk forces of Sultan Alp Arslan near the town of Manzikert to the far east of the Byzantine Empire. The battle ended in a decisive defeat for the Byzantine forces, with the wings of the army routing following withering Turkish arrow fire, and the centre overwhelmed, with the Byzantine emperor captured and much of his fabled Varangian guard killed. This battle is justifiably regarded as a turning point in Middle Eastern, European and to some extent even world history. It is seen as the primary trigger of the...

Medieval Siege Weapons (2): Byzantium, the Islamic World & India Ad 476-1526
ISBN: 9781841764597 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 48 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. When it came to non-gunpowder machine development, the medieval period was one of the most inventive in military history. During this era, the pre-existing military-technological traditions from the ancient worlds were brought together. Three civilisations were primarily responsible for this evolution: the Late-Roman or Byzantine Empire, the Islamic World, and latterly the Mongol 'World Empire'. This book examines the resulting stone-throwing machines from torsion 'energy storage' systems, to manpowered and counterbalance sling devices, rockets and others.

Saracen Strongholds 1100-1500: The Central and Eastern Islamic Lands
ISBN: 9781846033759 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 64 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. By the time of the Crusades, the Islamic world had developed its own sophisticated styles of fortification. Distinctive and highly effective, the region's unique military architecture continued to evolve in response to the Crusader and Mongol threats, and also drew upon the traditions of their foes and neighbors. The resulting Islamic concepts of military architecture had an influence upon fortifications in Western Europe, including Italy and the Iberian Peninsula. Rather than providing security for feudal aristocracies, however, as was increasingly the case in Europe, Islamic...

Kalka River 1223: Genghiz Khan's Mongols Invade Russia
ISBN: 9781841762333 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 96 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Osprey's study of the Mongols' invasion of Russia. In 1221, Genghiz, Great Khan of the Mongols, ordered an armed reconnaissance expedition into Russia commanded by Subodei Bahadur and Jebei Noyon 'The Arrow'. The consequences for the history of Europe were incalculable. The decisive Mongol victory at Kalka River, opened up vast regions of Russia and Eastern Europe to Mongol conquest. Genghiz ordered his victorious army to return eastwards, delaying the final cataclysm by a few years. Genghiz died in 1227, but within 10 years his son Ogedei ordered a return to Russia to complete the conquest....

Armies of the Caliphates 862 1098
ISBN: 9781855327702 / Angielski / Miękka / 1998 / 48 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The 8th century heralded the start of a golden age in the history of the Islamic world. At this time, the Sunni Muslim 'Abbasid Caliphate, with its capital at Baghdad, ruled virtually the entire Islamic world. Islamic military power peaked in the 9th century, but by the end of this golden age in the 11th century, the 'Abbasid Caliphs had little political and virtually no military power. Featuring numerous photographs of artefacts and eight full colour plates by Graham Turner, David Nicolle's book examines the recruitment, organization, weaponry and uniforms of the armies of the Caliphates...

The Moors: The Islamic West 7th-15th Centuries AD
ISBN: 9781855329645 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 48 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 12 dni roboczych. The high point of medieval Islamic expansion was the 700-year presence of the 'Moors' in Spain and Portugal. The Arab and Berber conquest was followed by the establishment of a richly distinct culture in Andalusia, where for a while Muslim and Christian co-operated as often as they fought. The rise and fall of successive Islamic dynasties brought new invaders, fragmentation and disunity; and the growing Christian kingdoms to the north eventually doomed the amirate of Granada, the last Moorish bastion, which fell to the Castilians in 1492. The colourful armies of Western Islam are described...

Constantinople 1453: The End of Byzantium
ISBN: 9781841760919 / Angielski / Miękka / 2000 / 96 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This Osprey title details the epic four-month siege of the city of Constantinople in 1453, last vestige of the once mighty Roman and Byzantine Empires. Mehmet 'The Conqueror' led an army of 80,000 men with a massive siege train against the city. Defending were a mere 10,000 men under the Emperor Constantine XI. The Turkish artillery battered the ancient city walls mercilessly, levelling a large section. A gallant defence held off the massive Turkish assault for several hours. Refusing appeals to flee, Constantine returned to the breaches and fought until overwhelmed and killed. Thus died the...

The Mamluks 1250-1517
ISBN: 9781855323148 / Angielski / Miękka / 1993 / 48 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In Europe the Mamluks of Egypt are remembered as so-called 'Slave Kings' who drove out the Crusaders from the Holy Land; but they were far more than that. Though its frontiers barely changed, the Mamluk Sultanate remained a 'great power' for two and a half centuries. Its armies were the culmination of a military tradition stretching back to the 8th century, and provided a model for the early Ottoman Empire, whose own armies reached the gates of Vienna only twelve years after the Mamluks were overthrown. This absorbing text by David Nicolle explores the organisation and tactics of these...
