What books would you like published?

Hi Phil,

Great idea! I know you and I have discussed this but would love to see a book on teh calvary taking in tactics, training and even charging! Yes, we've discussed this in another thread and I think I recall you were actually working on such a book?


Also, what about a coffee table type book with actual photographs of actual finds of swords, helmets, armour. I have a polish book which shows wonderful images of such finds but I would love to see a book that cpatures a lot more.

Cheers

Actually, on the cavalry, if you'll forgive the self-publicity, my book Warhorse: Cavalry in Ancient Warfare was published last October (by Hambledon Continuum) in the UK and I think came out in the US in January. I hope one day to write another book on the same subject, but with much more practical research, whereas Warhorse is predominantly based on the ancient sources.

As for the coffee-table book, that would be good but rather expensive to produce. It's not the usual kind of format for Pen & Sword, so I won't be trying anything like that for a while anyway.

cheers

Phil
