Title: The author overestimated his own knowledge on the subject
Review: I finally decided not to finish this book beyond the 60% mark. Carey seems to have access to (from the Kindle edition bibliography) most of the broader modern scholarship on the subject, but must have decided not to use it, or might not actually have read it himself. There are also simply too many direct and glaring errors - simple, factual ones, rather than interpretations that are simply old-fashioned- for me to bother finishing this book.Don't waste your time. Carey is in over his head here, and students will only be introduced to a vastly outdated picture of medieval warfare, from an author that, in truth, should not have written a book on the subject.
