Product Description:For centuries, soldiers on horseback formed the backbone of the world's greatest armies. The publication of The History of Cavalry marks the first attempt to reveal all the facets of this intriguing and noble mode of soldiering for a wider audience than ever before. Taking as its starting point the War of the League of Augsburg in 1688, The History of Cavalry chronicles the major wars and battles in which cavalry has played a decisive role, right up to the last engagements where cavalry was used early in World War II.Intertwined with the historical narrative are descriptions of all the various types of cavalry, such as guards, dragoons, hussars, etc., and the fighting units into which they were organized - squadrons, regiments, brigades, etc. Throughout the book, color illustrations help to promotes a greater visual understanding and appreciation of this elite fighting force.For the military buff and the general reader alike, The History of Cavalry offers a unique opportunity to learn much more about this now-defunct more of warfare, which played such a crucial role in the strategies and outcomes of most of the cornerstone wars and battles of world history.

Commissioned and compiled in 1086 and written the following year, the Domesday Book is, as Michael Wood puts it in his Preface, "the nearest thing to a photograph of the ordinary people of [England] we could hope for." In Domesday: A Search for the Roots of England, Wood uses this extraordinary document as a jumping~off point for a wide~ranging exploration of England's past. What constitutes "Englishness"? When did it begin? How did it evolve from the time of the Domesday Book? Wood answers these questions through what he terms a "series of close~ups" of historic English locales, institutions, customs and people. His quest takes him from Roman Britain through the Viking Settlement, the richly sophisticated Anglo~Saxon period, the Norman Conquest and up to the 15th cemury, when the world chronicled by the Domesday Book entered a period of major transition. With his best~selling book and highly popular television series In Search of the Trojan War, Michael Wood made a name for himself as a writer and "presenter" who could bring the past superbly to life. Like his previous books, Trojan War and In Search of the Dark Ages (Facts On File, 1987 ), Domesday grew out of a BBC television series and is richly illustrated with both color and black~and~white photographs. Written in a warm, almost conversational tone, Domesday: A Searcli for the Roots of England takes readers on a richly imagined and always gripping journey into the past.
