disappointed - By: , 14 Jul 2003
If you are like me & are thinking of buying this book because you are interestedin the el cid periodin spanish history then dont bother.There isnt one single colour plate that was any use to me(i paint & collect wargames miniatures).For some reason there was not any mention of the word almoravids, the author prefering to use the other lesser known name of murabitan instead. Alright i suppose but when you are new to the period like i am ,it was a bit confusing. Also what was one of the most famous units of the almoravid/almohad armies? yes the black guard....any mention or picture...no.
Ive ordered the el cid & armies of islam men at arms titles... i hope they are better.
