Summary: EXOTIC, ARMS AND ARMOUR OF THE RUS
Comment: Living in Nicaragua in the 80's with the Sandinistas in Power and the influence of the Soviet Union at his best, make me study a lot of the Russian culture and history, one of those part that brought my attention was the Mongol Invasion and their struggle for liberation of the Golden Horde influence, the many problems with their not so nice Christian neighbor and the continues fighting for power between the Medieval Russians.
At last the search for a nice work on the Medieval Russia Armies has come to his end, Mr Nicolle and Viacheslav Shpakovsky have done a EXCELLENT work with the little help of Angus McBride, there is a nice chapter on the Mongol influence of later Russian armies and the use of The guns of Muscovy.
This is the second part of the series the first one dedicated to the almost dark period of Russian History 838-1252 is also another great book to check. I hope in the future we can see more works on the medieval russia, I'm only know about the works publish by Osprey but there most be more specializes work on the subject, it is my opinion the the only weakness of this two work are that did't talk about the Russian heraldry but let hope they make one also nicely illustrated.
