A Forgotten Medieval Military Thinker
By Albert A. Nofi on June 1, 2015
Format: Hardcover
A summary of the review on StrategyPage.Com:

'Prof. Hosler (Morgan State) argues that John has been seriously overlooked by military historians, making for a serious “lacuna” in scholarship on medieval warfare. Sometime secretary to Thomas Becket and later Bishop of Chartres, John of Salisbury (c. 1115-1180) was a scholar of unusual attainments and arguably had enduring influence on Western intellectual evolution. Although he certainly never served in arms nor actually saw a battle, his letters and his formal works in political science and history, including a well-regarded account of the Second Crusade, evidence a familiarity with the ancient classics as well as with the practice of his own times, generally by commenting on “exempla” or anecdotes, reflecting the common practice of most ancient works on military theory. Hosler is no means uncritical of John’s limitations. He opens by discussing the military vocabulary of the times, an idea that more historians should adopt, given changes in the meaning of many seemingly familiar words or phrases over the ages. Hosler then examines John’s use of exempla in discussing recruiting and training of soldiers, organization and logistics, the conduct of operations, and what might be termed his “philosophy” of war. This is an important work for anyone interested in warfare in Medieval times or in the evolution of the literature of war.'
