Customer Reviews
The Byzantine Warrior - Rated Countless books have been written on the subject of Classical Roman warfare, but very little has been written on the Byzantines in comparison. Dr. Timothy Dawson, a Historian and re-enactor has tried re-adress this balance. In this book he sets out to describe the Byzantine infantryman: his equipment; tools; weapons and armour. As well as describing the Byzantine infantry's appearance he also attempts to reconstruct a typical infantryman's experiences, as in his training; conditions of service; experience of battle; and life on campaign. The book is very illuminating in this regard, and it should act as a great introduction to the topic for any non-expert. Dozens of photographs, basic maps and line drawings help compliment the text. The use of a chronological timeline, a glossary, a guide to re-enactment and museums and a bibliography are also extremly useful. A special not should be made about the colour plates by Angus McBride. McBride was the foremost artist for Osprey Pulishing, and he provided countless wonderful paintings for this series over the last 30 years. The 8 colour plates for this book are Angus's last ever published art as he died before the book's publication. It is a real shame that we'll never see another Osprey title illustrated by McBride, and he will be sadly missed. A well written and well illustrated title on the Byzantine Warriors. A must have for anyone who has an interest in this period of history.
