158pp, illustrated with line drawings by the author. In laminated card covers (gentle edge wear, one corner lightly bumped). Internally neat, clean, bright and tight. The image of the medieval knight is concentrated in the symbolism of his sword. Ewart Oakeshott develops a typology for and recounts his history of the sword, from the knightly successors to the Viking weapon to the emergence of the Renaissance sword.
