Battle in the Early Middle Ages: Expertise and controversy
"Historian on the Edge" provides us with an expert summary of his views on early medieval warfare.
I say "expert" rather than "authoritative" because as he points out, there are no authorities on this subject, only controversialists.
Highly recommended for students in my upcoming fourth-year seminar.
