Routledge Handbook of Medieval Military Strategy

“A major contribution not only to strategic studies but also to our understanding of medieval warfare as a whole, this collection fully vindicates its thesis that strategy existed before the term and was of fundamental importance.”

Written by an impressive line-up of leading experts, this collection provides a scholarly benchmark for research on an astonishing range of military societies, whilst simultaneously offering new insights on many aspects of global military history.”
