Let's get a thread going on /k/ books. I'm wanting to learn about medieval warfare. Mainly large scale strategy and tactics, but some individual weapon use would be cool too. Can anyone recommend some good reading?

Maurice Keen, Chivalry.

Maurice Keen, Medieval Warfare.

This one is pretty good, too. There are a number of used copies that you can get for around $3, shipping extra.

Best,
Anon

It's a short glaive according to the book the picture is from.
>>
Anyone got anything about tanks I need more tank shit.
>>
>>30294455
Tigers in the Mud by Otto Carius was pretty good.

Not tanks, but I reccommend Fireforce by Chris Cocks, which gives a glimpse into the air mobile infantry of the Rhodesian Bush War.

On my shelf to be read are House to House about clearing Fallujah, and Storm of Steel which is about WW1.

For fiction, I haven't read much, but Crecy and The Fort by Cromwell were pretty good historical fiction.

What about book operators?
