		Each chapter of the book offers not only a scholarly discussion of a specific era in the evolution of the knightly sword-couched in Oakeshott's inimitable, congenial style-but also a rousing narrative of a battle in which swords of the type in question were used historically.
		Note incidentally, the crisp, high-definition fl-and-white photographs and drawings provide a magnificent array of medieval swords that are a delight to look at and to imagine the pleasures of handling.
		Each chapter features a masterfully told narrative of a significant battle (though Oakeshott has often deliberately chosen a lesser-known confrontation) in the author's distinctive style, which absolutely makes the reader feel like an eyewitness if not an actual participant.
