Book review - The English Warrior


The English Warrior from earliest times to 1066
 by Stephen Pollington
This is not intended to be a bald listing of the battles and campaigns from the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle and other sources, but rather it is an attempt to get below the surface of Anglo-Saxon warriorhood and to investigate the rites, social attitudes, mentality and mythology of the warfare of those times.
Published by Anglo-Saxon Books, this 304 page hardback comes with over 50 illustrations and is highly acclaimed. The book can be purchased by clicking on the link below: (UK only) £16.95 plus handling fee.
