Swords and Swordsmen Loade Mike
This magnificent book tells the story of the evolution of swords, how they were made, how they were used, and the people that used them. Each is selected because it can be linked to a specific individual, thus telling their story too and giving a human interest. It doesn't claim to give comprehensive coverage but instead takes certain surviving examples as landmarks on a fascinating journey through the history of swords.
Along the way we take in Henry V, Cromwell and Uesugi Kenshin, and there is the most detailed discussion you'll find anywhere of all of George Washington's swords. So the journey starts with the sword of Tutankhamun and ends with the swords of J E B Stuart and George Custer. The chapters on these specific swords and swordsmen are alternated with more general chapters on the changing technical developments and fashions in swords and their use.
