The armory

This book is one of the rare cases where well-founded historical knowledge is passed on to the reader with a light hand without being instructive or dry. Clearly written and richly illustrated with clear drawings, the development of melee weapons from the early Middle Ages to the end of medieval fighting techniques is presented to the reader in a concise and comprehensible form.

The author, Michael Störmer, has achieved the feat of conveying a complex subject to the medieval-interested reader in an understandable way. This book is therefore sure to be of interest to medieval groups and LARP players.
