This seventh volume of the Journal of Medieval Military History has a particular focus on western Europe in the late middle ages, and specifically the Hundred Years War; however, the breadth and diversity of approaches found in the modern study of medieval military history remains evident.

War Cruel and Sharp: English Strategy Under Edward III, 1327-1360
ISBN: 9780851158044 / Angielski / Twarda / 2000 / 480 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Contemporaries considered Edward III of England "the wisest and shrewdest warrior in the world," but he has not fared so well in the estimation of modern historians, many of whom have argued that he was a fine tactician but a poor strategist. This is despite the fact that by 1360 the English had become the foremost martial nation of Europe; that famous victories had been won at Dupplin Moor, Halidon Hill, Crecy, and Poitiers; and David II of Scotland and Jean II of France were Edward's prisoners, and the French, with the Treaty of Bretigny, had agreed to surrender a third of their kingdom to...

The Journal of Medieval Military History
ISBN: 9781843833390 / Angielski / Twarda / 2007 / 193 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The broad topic of medieval warfare is here explored across the full chronological range of the Middle Ages, using a wide variety of approaches, including literary, prosopographical, technological, and narrative-based analysis. A key feature of the journal is its commitment to fostering debate on the most significant issues in medieval military history; that tradition is continued here with Bernard Bachrach's argument against the idea that early medieval military structures and practices were sharply different from Late Antique ones. Individual battles, the Hattin campaign of 1187 and...

Soldiers' Lives through History - The Middle Ages
ISBN: 9780313333507 / Angielski / Twarda / 2007 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The most dangerous arms in the world are those of horse and lance, because there is no means of stopping them, wrote a 15th-century commander, Jean de Bueil. From the fall of the Roman Empire to the end of the 15th century, the men (and a few women in disguise) who reported for military service or who led other men, scouted and skirmished, plundered and burned. If they did not slaughter the peasants they met, they took them prisoner to be sold as slaves or ransomed at heavy cost. It was a brutal time. Rogers illuminates the history of medieval soldiers in wartime and in peacetime,...

The Wars of Edward III: Sources and Interpretations
ISBN: 9780851156460 / Angielski / Twarda / 2000 / 412 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. When Edward III came to the throne of England in 1327, England's military reputation had reached a low ebb.

Twenty-two years later, however, King Jean II of France and King David II of Scotland were both prisoners in London, an English army was camped outside Paris, and Edward was widely considered the most skilful warrior in the world. Clifford Rogers uses contemporary documents (campaign bulletins,...

Journal of Medieval Military History: Volume VIII
ISBN: 9781843835967 / Angielski / Twarda / 2010 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The journal's hallmark of a broad chronological, geographic, and thematic coverage of the subject is underlined in this volume.

Civilians in the Path of War
ISBN: 9780803220652 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. "War," wrote Gen. William T. Sherman, "is cruelty, and you cannot refine it." Throughout history, noncombatants have always been among the victims of war's violence. In this book, nine distinguished historians examine twenty-five hundred years of human conflicts and their varied impacts on civilian society. Each case study examines not only what military forces did to noncombatants in the area of their operations, but why they did it and how they justified their actions. The focus, however, remains firmly on the practical realities of war, not on normative theories or the prescriptions of the...
