Beschreibung

Charles Oman's The Art of War in the Middle Ages is a pioneering study of European warfare from the late Roman world to the dawn of the Renaissance. With lucid, comparative prose, Oman traces the decline of disciplined infantry, the rise of feudal cavalry, and the eventual resurgence of foot soldiers through English archers, Flemish militias, and Swiss pikemen. The work belongs to the formative Victorian tradition of institutional military history, combining narrative clarity with broad strategic interpretation. Oman, a distinguished Oxford historian and later Chichele Professor of Modern History, brought to the subject a classical education, a fascination with military organization, and a lifelong interest in how institutions shape events. His later monumental history of the Peninsular War confirms the same qualities evident here: command of sources, attention to tactics, and an ability to connect battlefield practice with social and political change. This book is recommended to readers seeking a concise yet intellectually substantial introduction to medieval warfare. Though modern scholarship has refined some conclusions, Oman's synthesis remains valuable for its elegance, scope, and enduring insight into the evolution of European military systems.
