576 pp, small 4to (10" H). B&w drawings, maps. "David Nicolle, in this second volume of his comprehensive study of military weapons and equipment at the time of the Crusades, examines the arms and armour actually used by Muslim, Orthodox Christian and Mongol armies. Emphasising the evolution of military technology, fashion and science during a period of tumult and change, this definitive study throws light on Eastern Europe and Asia as old empires decayed and the new powers emerged. (It) examines the key elements of arms and equipment for each specific power or ethnic group. Conclusions are then linked to hundreds of superbly detailed line drawings based on archaeological evidence, iconography and contemporary accounts. With chapters on Byzantium and its military decline, Armenia, the growing might of the lands of the Rus, the Eastern Balkans, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Syria, Arabia, the Mongol Hordes, as well as China and India, this is an essential study of major and minor powers and their contribution to warfare during the Crusades." Very small bump at bottom rear corner, minor wrinkle at top off spine, minor soiling on top of textblock. Dust jacket has minor rubbing, minor edge wear/wrinkling.
