Medieval wars are striking in their fierceness, duration and scale. These are the Crusades, the conquests of Genghis Khan and Timur, the Hundred Years' War, the campaigns of the Ottoman Turks and the Great Mughals. This includes the Thirty Years' War between the Catholic League and Protestant states, the Hussite wars in the Czech Republic and the Huguenot wars in France, the advance of German crusader knighthood to the east along the southern shores of the Baltic... The next book in the series tells about the most outstanding commanders of the Middle Ages.
