Warriors of Dark Ages Britain,
By K. Murphy "Fortune favors the Bold" (The thriving metropolis of Masury, OH) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Saxon, Viking and Norman (Men at Arms Series, 85) (Paperback)
First of all, I have no complaints against the actual content of this book; the information is accurate and well-presented, and it is a good source visually. My problem with this book is that, like many early men-at-arms titles, it simply bites into way more than it could chew. The organization and weaponry of three distinct cultures spanning a period of roughly six centuries is a sizeable topic indeed for a book of 40 pages. Though I will not say that this book is a total waste or that I wish I had not bought it, there are better alternatives availible from Osprey; for example, the Vikings and the Normans both have their own elite titles, which are much more in depth, and all three of these peoples have titles on their warrior elite.

A great introduction to the Dark Ages of Western Europe and the warriors who put out of its misery the Western Roman Empire. Some really good text and some great illustration from one of the early efforts of Osprey.
