A better than average number in this series, as the author appears to have real expertise in the subject. Besides the usual nuts and bolts details, the most interesting suggestion is that the infantry of the last high point of Byzantium might have been a way station to the reintroduction of drilled foot soldiers in Western Europe. ( ) A really nice, compact and fact-packed read this. Much like the other books in the Osprey series the text is interspersed with illustrations, diagrams and photographs of archaeological artefacts. I demolished it in a couple of hours and the only reason I didn't give it five stars was because I felt the book could have been far longer; a lot more detail that I was interested in that was only briefly touched on. A fine starting point for research though. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Onderdeel van de reeks(en)Osprey Warrior (118)
Osprey's survey of Byzantine infantrymen during the Middle Ages. Having been trained to operate in small, highly mobile eight-man units adept at living off the land whilst on campaign, the Byzantine infantryman was a formidable foe. Built on a strong belief system that emphasized stealth, surprise, swift maneuvering, and overwhelming force, the Byzantine infantryman was trained in survival, sword, spear and archery techniques, as well as land and sea combat and fighting within the foulkon "turtle" formation. This book, written by Timothy Dawson, an expert in the training and techniques of the Byzantine Army, details the everyday experience of the infantryman from his recruitment, through his twice-a-day training regime, to his encounters with his enemies.
