Synopsis

Medieval Armies explores the multifaceted nature of warfare throughout the Middle Ages, challenging common perceptions of battlefield dynamics. Rather than solely focusing on knights, the book investigates the roles of infantry, siege engineers, and the crucial logistics that sustained military campaigns. The book reveals how the composition, weaponry, and battle strategies of medieval armies were deeply entwined with the political and social structures of the time, from the feudal system's impact to the rise of mercenaries. Beginning with the fragmented warbands of the early Middle Ages, the book traces the evolution of military organization to the more professional forces of the later period. It emphasizes the integration of diverse troop types and strategic adaptability as key factors in an army's success. Case studies of key battles and campaigns, supported by historical sources and archaeological findings, illustrate the principles discussed, providing a balanced view of medieval warfare. The book uniquely connects military history with social, economic, and technological factors, offering a comprehensive view of medieval armies as complex systems. By considering the economic impact of warfare, such as the cost of equipping armies and the effects of raiding, it provides fresh perspectives relevant to students, military history enthusiasts, and anyone interested in the realities of medieval war history.

  • From Acorns to Oaks - An Urgent Agenda to Rebuild Britain - cover

    From Acorns to Oaks - An Urgent...

    When Michael Heseltine wrote his acclaimed autobiography, Life in the Jungle, he assumed his political career was over. He returned to Haymarket, his publishing business, and intended to explore more of the world and pursue his passions outside politics.
    His assumption was wrong. David Cameron called him, tentatively at first but gradually with increased responsibility, back to the corridors of power.
    This second memoir is a potpourri of reminiscences about Heseltine's life and previously unexplored aspects of his stellar political career. But the main reason for Heseltine taking up his pen again has been to look back on the fundamental changes he was able to mastermind while in government and to set out the policies that are urgently needed to unite the country by driving growth, increasing prosperity and restoring hope. He combines this with new revelations about the seismic Westland scandal, the establishment cover-up that caused him to resign from Margaret Thatcher's Cabinet, and a damning assessment of what he considers the grievous act of self-harm inflicted on Britain by Brexit.
    This extraordinary new memoir offers an urgent agenda to rebuild Britain from one of our last great statesmen, who has been at the forefront of business and politics for the past sixty years.

    During the Civil War his movements from battlefield to battlefield were followed in the North and in the South nearly as closely as those of generals, though he was not in the military. After the war, his swift response to Ku Klux Klan violence sparked passage of a landmark civil rights law, though he was not a politician. When he died in 1888 newspapers reported his death from coast to coast, yet he's unknown today. He was the man who delivered the most valuable ingredient in United States soldiers' fighting spirit during those terrible war years—letters between the front lines and the home front. He was Absalom Markland, special agent of the United States Post Office, and this is his first biography. 
     
     
     
    At the beginning of the Civil War, at the request of his childhood friend Ulysses S. Grant, Markland created the most efficient military mail system ever devised, and Grant gave him the honorary title of colonel. Nearly every biography of Lincoln, Sherman, and Grant includes at least one footnote about Markland, but his important, sometimes daily interaction with them during and after the war has escaped modern notice, until now. Absalom Markland is a forgotten American hero. Delivered Under Fire tells his amazing story.

    Cristero War - The Rebellion...

    The Cristero War, also known as the Cristero Rebellion or La Cristiada [la kistjaa], was a widespread and deeply significant conflict that unfolded in central and western Mexico during the late 1920s. It was primarily driven by a violent response to the secularist and anti-clerical provisions of the 1917 Mexican Constitution, which sought to curtail the influence of the Catholic Church over the country's political and social life. The Constitution introduced sweeping reforms, including the restriction of church property rights and the severe limitations placed on the clergy’s ability to engage in public life. 
    This growing tension reached a boiling point when President Plutarco Elías Calles, who came into power in 1924, took decisive action to enforce these secular provisions. In 1926, Calles issued an executive order to aggressively implement Article 130 of the 1917 Constitution, known as the Calles Law. This law effectively outlawed many aspects of Catholicism in Mexico, including the practice of the religion in public spaces, the establishment of religious orders, and the public involvement of the clergy in education and politics. Calles' aim was to reduce the power of the Catholic Church, which had long been one of the most influential institutions in Mexican society, and to curb what he perceived as an obstacle to modernization and national unity.
