The contributors analyze social and economic issues, military strategy, technological and medical developments, ideology and rhetoric, and address warfare in Europe, the Byzantine Empire and the Muslim world. In three parts, the contributors explore warfare in theory, warfare in practice and warfare as perceived through medieval and modern historiography. In doing so they present a number of engaging case studies that will be of use to students and scholars interested in warfare and its effects on medieval society. 410 0$aHistory of Warfare ;$v37. 517 3 $aWarfare in the Middle Ages 606 $aMilitary art and science$xHistory$yMedieval, 500-1500 606 $aMilitary history, Medieval 615 0$aMilitary art and science$xHistory 615 0$aMilitary history, Medieval. 676 $a355.0209/02 702 $aYazigi$b Maya 702 $aChristie$b Niall 801 0$bNL-LeKB 801 1$bNL-LeKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910784721503321 996 $aNoble Ideals and Bloody Realities$93832913 997 $aUNINA
