The International Library of Essays on Military History
This collection of essays and articles from a wide range of
journals is intended to make more accessible to students and
scholars some of the most important writing in English in this
field from the 1950s to the present day. The volume draws attention
to work on both the design and the use of ships in warfare in the
period c.1000-c.1500. The collection deals with both the
Mediterranean and northern waters in this period and not only makes
clear what work has been done in this field but indicates areas
where more research is needed.
