The best introduction to the longsword available. July 27, 2004
19 out of 19 found this review helpful
I am not primarily a longsword practitioner (the Italian rapier is my focus), so this book won't get as much use from me as it will from a serious student of the longsword. However, I feel that as an introduction and training guide to the longsword, that this is by far the best book out there. Mr. Windsor obviously put a lot of time and energy into this book, and it shows. The photographs are first rate, and the drawings are very clear and informative. The writing is very good--an enjoyable and informative read, even for someone who is just curious about the general use of the longsword. Along with terminology, techniques and drills, this book also covers what equipment you'll need and how to practice safely. An excellent effort at a low price.
If you're interested in western swordsmanship, buy this book!
