Présentation The Cavalry Lance de Alan Larsen Format Broché
- Livre
Résumé : The development of cavalry firearms and disappearance of armour from the European battlefield saw a decline in the use of the cavalry lance. However, by 1800 the lance, much changed from its medieval predecessors in both form and function, was back.
During the next century the use of the lance spread to the armed forces of almost every Western country, seeing action in every major conflict from the Napoleonic Wars to World War I including the Crimean and Franco-Prussian wars and across the Atlantic in the American Civil War. The lance even reached the colonial conflicts of the Anglo-Sikh and Boer wars. It was not until the disappearance of the mounted warrior from the battlefield that the lance was consigned to history.
Featuring specially commissioned artwork and drawing upon a variety of sources, this is the engaging story of the cavalry lance at war during the 19th and 20th centuries, from Waterloo to the Somme.
Biographie: Alan Larsen graduated from the University of Otago with a Bachelor of Arts degree. He is a historical events consultant, cavalry re-enactor and occasional television contributor who has studied and recreated mounted warfare of all periods. This is his first book.
Henry Yallop is Assistant Curator of Edged Weapons at the Royal Armouries Museum in Leeds. He co-curated the museum's World War I exhibition 'Bullets, Blades and Battle Bowlers' and was also involved in its bicentenary Waterloo exhibition. This is Henry's first book for Osprey.
Peter Dennis studied illustration at Liverpool Art College and has since contributed to hundreds of books, predominantly on historical subjects.
