    Default AW: Medieval Reading List

    Paul Keagan: "A History of Warfare" has some information on war & mankind in general. Starts pretty much with the caveman up to the atomic bomb. But it has a hige part about the relevant period. And it`s a good read....

    Think you mean "A History of Warfare" by John Keegan

    It is a very good read.

    If you want a more macro military perspective I would recommend Mohamed et Charlemagne by Henri Pirenne (in whatever language you prefer). It has some good information on the Merovingian period thru Charlemagne.


    Reinvent the British and you get a global finance center, edible food and better service. Reinvent the French and you may just get more Germans.
