New books
My apologies for posting so little to the main site. A two-month old baby is really draining on one's time and energy, so things are moving extra slow.
Here are some of the latest books to come on the market that will be of interest to our readers:

Les Côtes guerrières: Mer, guerre et pouvoirs au Moyen Age. France - Façade océanique XIIIe-XVe siècle
by Marc Russon
Presses Universitaires de Rennes, ISBN: 2868479618
French text. Although France endured threats by sea from almost all sides during the medieval period, this book focuses exclusively on those from the western Oceanic side rather than the Mediterranean. This detailed study of France's medieval maritime history looks at why the French monarchy was so conscious of the need to control the seas around them between the 13th and 15th centuries, to dominate the littoral, ports, coastal towns and communities. Marc Russon examines the different forms of conflict, from naval battles and sieges to the blockading of ports and attacks from pirates, with threats coming from home and abroad. He goes on to look at these adversaries in detail, at the fortification of littoral and other defensive action taken, at the policing of ports, the offices created to oversee maritime affairs and political considerations linked to maritime security.

Warfare in the Medieval World

Pen and Sword Books, ISBN: 1844153398
Through an exploration of thirty-three selected battles, military historian Brian Todd Carey surveys the changing tactical relationships between the four weapon systems-heavy and light infantry and heavy and light cavalry - focusing on the evolution of shock and missile combat.

I just completed Professor Carey's follow up to his Warfare in the Ancient World. Entitled Warfare in the Medieval World, this second volume continues with a discussion of the tactical relationships between infantry and cavalry on the battlefields of Europe and the Near East. This work begins where his volume one ended, with the fall of the Western Roman Empire and the rise of Byzantium. Here, the author tackles the evolution of Byzantine warfare, then moves on to discuss the rise and dominance of heavy cavalry in western European warfare during the early and high medieval period. The crusades are highlighted, both in the Holy Land and in Spain, while the development of logistics and horsebreeding are also touched upon. Of particular interest was the chapters on Mongol warfare and this steppe people's interaction on Christian Europe and the Islamic Near East. Volume two finishes with coverage of the return of heavy and light cavalry to the battlefields of Europe and the development of firearms and their application to warfare.
I own many of the works cited in this book, and I enjoyed the way Carey synthesizes these works in an enjoyable narrative. When combined with the scores of maps (both tactical and regional), Warfare in the Medieval World is a keeper and a fine addition to any military historian or gamer's library.
