Good easily read history of the development of the Landsknecht.
Well written, great detail of the history, development and demise of another special fighting group, armed with special weapons and dressed in clothing that reverberated from fashion of the wealthy to condemnation by the Pope. They brought a Scot 1200's long two handed sword through history as a fighting weapon, a bearing sword for parades and, in mid 1400 to mid 1500, the most recognized and respected sword who's name became the same as the warrior who used it. Great illustrations and explanations go with the history of these fighters, their recruitment physical requirements, fighting style, their outlandish dress and assorted weapons associated with them, and currently priced accordingly. Good for the collector too.

Boyfriend liked it
Nice book as an overall of the history of the Landsknecht soldier. If you want more specific though you might want to look elsewhere. The picture were very helpful and the time line was nice.

Landsknecht Soldier 1486–1560
Well written and easy to read. This is a must for miniature wargamers. It may be of interest to Renaissance aficionados, re-enactors, and military historians.
