Book Reviews of Tudor Knight (Warrior)

Book Review: A Few Flaws
Summary: 4 Stars

"Tudor Knight" is, for the most part, an excellent work. Gravett goes into superb detail when describing the armour and weapons of the knights of 16th century England. However, there are a few small problems. Firstly, Gravett spends almost no time describing the tactics knights would use in battle, focusing instead on describing battles in general. Secondly, he spends a great deal of the book simply describing the recruitment and organization of common soldiers in the English army, rather than focusing on the Knights themselves. Despite these problems however, the book is well written. Gravett does include various heroic actions by individual knights at certain battles, the colour plates are excellent, and as I said before, his description of knightly armour and weapons is the best part of the book. In the end, I'm not sorry I bought this.
