By sword and fire : cruelty and atrocity in medieval warfare

McGlynn, Sean2008
Books, Manuscripts
Sean McGlynn investigates the reality of medieval warfare. For all the talk of chivalry, medieval warfare routinely involved acts which we would consider war crimes today. This is a 'warts and all' portrait of war in the Middle Ages that combines vivid narrative with explanation and analysis.
