I know a certain author who has written similar books who does not have a very high opinion of either of the two books by Stephenson. Apparently he undermined the continued importance of the sword in his book. I can agree with that.<br>
<br>
Personally I found the Infantry book useful, but not overly much. No comparison to Bishop&Coulston. Even Southern&Dixon outclass him, and they have also received their share of criticism.<br>
But this does not tell you anything about the Cavalry book, sorry...<br>
<br>
There is a third volume on the brink of being published, about the Late Roman and Early Byzantine army.<br>
