Warlords: Ancient- Celtic- Medieval (1996) By Tim Newark
 
As a servant of his king, renegade warrior or regional leader, the military commander of the era up to the middle ages was very different from his modern counterpart. His battlefield may have been slower and his strategies primitive but his survival instincts drove him to tactical ingenuity and ruthless determination. His codes of loyalty often stimulated his military action and did nothing to dull his callous use of his foot soldiers as a disposable means to achieve his end. He would perhaps hide this cruelty beneath a charismatic leadership which would ensure him of a dependable army. This volume tells the real story of a tough, battle ridden world where the power came with military might and disappeared with weakness and defeat.
