Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Some historians divide history into periods dominated by one civilisation. Greece, Rome, India, China, Western Europe and North America have all had their moment in the sun, but from the 8th to 11th centuries the Islamic world led the way. With numerous illustrations and photographs, including eight attractive full page colour plates by Graham Turner, this worthy addition to Osprey's Men-at-Arms series by David Nicolle examines the recruitment, organisation, weaponry, costume and uniforms of the armies of the Caliphates from 862-1098.

From the Publisher
Packed with specially commissioned artwork, maps and diagrams, the Men-at-Arms series is an unrivalled illustrated reference on the history, organisation, uniforms and equipment of the world's military forces, past and present.
