| Synopsis: |
Providing detailed accounts of 19 medieval battles in England and Europe, this book affirms the important role of the infantry and the nature of infantry tactics, and questions the conventional view of the dominance of cavalry. The battles examined were ones in which large infantry forces participated, and in most cases won the day. The author uses the evidence supplied by first-hand accounts to argue that victory came not because of superior technology, even when the longbow was used, but was due to a solid and disciplined infantry line which made a defensive stand able to resist the attacks of opposing soldiers, whether cavalry or infantry. |
