This review is from: Neglected Heroes: Leadership and War in the Early Medieval Period (Hardcover)
A marvellous volume about a subject I as a non-specialist had never thought much about. Gore takes battles that are little more than dusty old names for most of us and transforms them into vivid and tangible events. I especially liked the chapter on the Battle of Hastings, and will forever be haunted by the image of the Norman soldiers singing the Song of Roland while awaiting combat. Every chapter was a fresh, delicious discovery. This was one of those accidental finds in a library that became one of the most memorable new reads of the year (this was 3 years ago; I should be ashamed of myself for not having alerted all of you to it immediately).
