Legionary: The Roman Soldier’s (Unofficial) Manual
Emperor: Time’s Tapestry Book One. Historical fiction/fantasy. Set in Roman Britain. Fit in well after reading the previous two books.
Newton and the Counterfeiter: The Unknown Detective Career of the World’s Greatest Scientist . Some comments here.
Culloden: The History and Archaeology of the Last Clan Battle
The World of the Gallowglass: Kings, Warlords and Warriors in Ireland and Scotland, 1200-1600
The English Civil War: At First Hand. I would give it four stars; I think the reviewer at Amazon was too harsh. Religious issues do appear in the book and the author/compiler takes them seriously as issues in the conflict, unlike some historians to try to explain away all religious elements in history in terms of social and economic issues. He is hard on Cromwell and the Commonwealth, but his discussion of Archbishop Laud’s policies certainly does not read like a defense of the High Church party.
A History of the Art of War in the Sixteenth Century. (Reread, the first time I read it was decades ago)
The Military Revolution: Military Innovation and the Rise of the West, 1500-1800. Reread. I read it several years ago, but I have a lot more context now.
Ireland 1649-52: Cromwell’s Protestant Crusade
Polish Winged Hussar 1576-1775
