Few historians have argued so forcefully or persuasively as Bernard S Bachrach for the study of warfare as not only worthy of scholarly attention, but demanding of it. This title pays tribute to its honoree by gathering seventeen original studies from an international roster of leading experts in the military history of medieval Europe.

Few historians have argued so persuasively as Bernard S. Bachrach for the study of warfare as demanding of scholarly attention. In his many publications Bachrach has established unequivocally the relevance of military activity for an understanding of medieval European societies, polities, and mentalities. In so doing he has helped to define the status quaestionis for the field of medieval military history. This volume pays tribute to its honoree by gathering seventeen original studies from an international roster of leading experts in the military history of medieval Europe.

'A book like this, written in honor of a specific historian whose writings have been important in military history, will be most interesting to students of Medieval Military History. ... This book is particularly worthy as a scholarly reference for the military history of the Middle Ages, giving a one-volume sample of a broad variety of subjects that deserves a place on library shelves, or on personal bookshelves of researchers who want to appreciate the legacy of excellent research that Bachrach has encouraged through his life and work.'
