What sets this book apart is the contextualisation of the source and the excellent translations. * MEDIEVAL WARFARE * For anyone really interested in fighting styles and techniques, this is a must-read. * SLINGSHOT * Forgeng's translation is clear and accessible. His experience not only as a scholar of early swordsmanship, but as a practitioner, is readily apparent. . . . [Forgeng makes] a vital text more widely available for practitioners not only looking to better understand the use of single-handed swords of all types, but also to how those techniques complement other medieval martial practices. * DE RE MILITARI *
