Recently I've been digging into Osprey titles for a few diverse fields of history ranging from Rome to the Medieval Era. What surprises me is that despite the apparent reliability alot of criticism hangs around occasionally online, the last one I've seen in the .ORG being about the topic of Medieval ski soldiers.
I wonder how reliable is Osprey & its drawings for serious in-depth historical research? I consider it good and concise for info and the drawings are very good. Some EB units like the Samnites are even based on Osprey books, so should I take this as a testament to their quality or just read it with a high dosis of skepticism?
