Lord Condo,
I've read most of the Guibert; good innit?
See my lasy post for another from exactly the same period, if you're interested.

I have read, I'm reading and I will again :
"Iron coffins : a personal account of the German U-Boat battles of WW2" by Herbert A. Werner. The first book in english I read !
Fascinating, scary...

'Paulssen said, "Start up bilge pump, let's see whether they take that bait."
The impertinent grinding sound tortured us like a dentist's drill. Though it betrayed our position, it produced no response from above. The third enemy had also departed.'

Oh dear

Yes. I started reading Guibert for a Medieval Europe course I am taking and I kind of got swept up in it. I highly recommend it to anyone who would like to understand the Middle Ages from a different perspective.

...I didn't see the other one you were talking about.

What ye all should read... Persian Fire by Tom Holland. Wonderful book, about the Greco-Persian war.
He also wrote Rubicon, about Roman history.

Now I'm reading "Constantinople, the last great siege"
