Why read it?
1 author picked The Medieval Archer as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
The controversial topic of the English longbow continues to haunt medieval warfare studies today. I was delighted to read this robust book which convinced me with its clear argument that the “long” bow was not itself a revolutionary new weapon of the later Middle Ages, but a bow that had evolved over time and which had always been significant in medieval warfare. Throughout there are lots of absorbing accounts of battles.
From Sean's list on medieval warfare (if you love knights and castles).
