History of the Art of War in the Middle Ages by Sir Charles Oman

This volume charts the transition of warfare from the fall of the Roman Empire to the battle of Marchfie ld in 1278, which decided the fate of Austria and marked the ascendancy of the armoured knight. '

Sir Charles William Chadwick Oman KBE (12 January 1860 - 23 June 1946) was a British military historian. His reconstructions of medieval battles from the fragmentary and distorted accounts left by chroniclers were pioneering. Occasionally his interpretations have been challenged, especially his widely copied thesis that British troops defeated their Napoleonic opponents by firepower alone. Paddy Griffith, among modern historians, claims that the British infantry's discipline and willingness to attack were equally important.
