There are some interesting anecdotes etc. and this book helps to round out Oakeshott but there is nothing truly revolutionary in this book that can't be pulled from other Oakeshott sources. —Updated Oct 10, 2005 Steve Grisetti :: Unrated —Updated Sep 25, 2005 Patrick Kelly :: As a reprint of several articles written by Mr. Oakeshott for Man at Arms magazine this book serves as a good compilation of his views on the medieval sword and the typology he developed to describe it. While this is not the penultimate Oakeshott book it is a worthwhile addition to ... • Read full review —Updated Jul 31, 2005 Alexi Goranov :: —Updated Jul 21, 2005 |
