The Bowmen of England. The Story of the English Longbow

Great Britain: Pen & Sword Military, 2005. Paperback. The Bowmen of England. From the 12th to 15th century the longbow was the weapon that changed European history more than any other. In the skilled hands of English and Welsh archers it revolutionused all the medieval concepts and traditions of war. No other weapon dominated the battlefield as it did, at it was the winning factor in every major battle from Morlaix in 1342 to Patay in 1429.
