First, a warning, this is my first review of a book. There are bound to be spelling errors, grammar issues and other such nonsense but I'm going to give it a go none-the-less.I've been a fan of Mike Loades since finding his Weapons That Made Britain series. I've been sick and tired of seeing videos, movies, TV and other such media talking pure bunk about the weapons, armour and people of the past. Mike took time to actually do REAL research, to learn, to experiment and do as much as possible to recreate even a little piece of the past which taught me quite a few things I simply didn't know.And that's exactly what this book did as well. I've always been focused on 1350-1430 or so in the European Martial Arts, and 1500-1650 in the Japanese Marital Arts world, so this book, opened up a whole new number of worlds for me, one where the sword was pivotal to survival, to countries, to wealth. And that says a lot right there.The ability for Mike to really put aside all the stuff we THINK we knew about how swords were used and more importantly show us WHY they were used is simply invaluable to anyone who has even a passing interest in the history of not just the blade, but the man (or woman) behind the blade.I spend most of my summer inside a suit of early 15th century armour, helping correct some of horrible things media has done in its view of the sword and armour, and Mike's book is yet another treasure trove of information I can use to better educate not just my students, but people with only a passing interest in the sword.The book is well written, laid out in a chronological order, so the development of the sword, from its axe-like proto-history, to the cutlasses and sabers of the more modern era are all clear, concise and contain concrete examples of the people that used them. The illustrations and photographs are very well done, and do not distract the reader.Well done Mike, well done.
Swords...and swordsmen. Just hearing those words evoke images of powerful, fearsome warriors and the great weapons they wielded: King Arthur and his Excalibur; Roland and his Durendal; the Japanese warrior Yamato Takeru and his Kusanagi, the Grasscutter. Even fiction and fantasy include mythical swords for their characters, such as Glamdring, the sword of the wizard Gandalf from the writings of J.R.R. Tolkien.The personable Mike Loades displays authority on things military on many historical television programmes, yet for those wanting more, this book is a great start for in-depth inquiry. Mr. Loades' passion comes through in his television appearances, but also in his book."Swords and Swordsmen" takes the reader on a journey of the sword, mankind's legendary weapon of mayhem against his fellow man. After all, a sword is a weapon designed to inflict bodily harm. Yet what a marvelous legacy and history are found herein!One learns about the first sword from ancient times and into the 20th century. There were swords for many purposes, such as combat, dress, cavalry, dueling, sparring and beheadings. No stone is left unturned by Mr. Loades...even one with a sword in it. They're all here, from the glaive to the rapier. There is even a small mention of women duelists--courtesans, actually--fighting for their own definition of honour.Mr. Loades is thorough in his look at all facets of the sword. The manufacture and artistic qualities of swordsmithing are discussed. The American jeweller Tiffany and Company made a bespoke sword for a famous historical military figure, but you will have to read the book to discover his identity.There are many excellent photographs and illustrations from history.Many special swords are featured, as well as the personages associated with them: king and emperors, army officers and duelists.All in all, this is a fascinating, engaging and informative read. Highly recommended to all who are interested in the sword and historical weaponry.
