Hi all,

I haven't posted in these boards for a while, but I thought I would just put in a quick notice that my book (The Military Leadership of Matilda of Canossa, 1046-1115) is finally being published in the next few weeks.

I've got a thread on it in the monastery, where I hope to answer any questions about medieval military history that arise from it. But here I thought I'd add a thread for any questions that arise about modern military history and events, since the book addresses some wider questions, such as the role of women in warfare and 'Fourth Generation Warfare' (though mostly I deal with these issues in my conclusion).


The society for medieval military history (De re militari) is also hosting a sample chapter, which you can read here:

And here's the monastery thread for specifically medieval questions:

So, let me know if you have any questions; I'll be happy to answer them!

Cheers,
