| it's such a good book. not a 100 pages long and yet goes into some depth about european armour from 1066 to 1700 or so. if you no little about armour it's certainly worth a read if you have an interest in it. i thought i knew quite a lot about armour infact, or the basics at least, but this really opens your eyes to the evolution of armour, as well as why and how it evolved and also goes into some detail about the main fashions that were prevalent through this period.
it also has nice pictures and drawings with names and labels which help alot.
it also goes into horse armour a little too ) |
