Just finished this book last night ! Very interesting info, leaning quite heavily to already availabe sources, like Bishop & Coulston and M. Feugere, though. Anyway interesting reading as an "armour-novice" like me. The weapon-testing against armour was a bit disappointing in my opinion, they tried a weakling 35 pound bow and made some assumptions by playing with the shooting distances of hypopethical higher poundage bows which in my opinion just isn`t that simple. Anyway, very interesting info for me without a deeper knowledge on the construction of Lorica Segmentata etc. Recommended!
