Critics Review
Overall, a handy book, which wargamers will find particularly helpful. * The Balkan Wargamer *
All in all for such a short book this is an insightful look at the history of the military forces, weapons, artefacts, personalities and warfare techniques of this period. * Army Rumour Service *
Given its size, it acts as a really useful primer for military organisation in the ‘Dark Ages’. * Battlefield Magazine *
