Medieval Swordsmanship
Although this book--like its predecessor Renaissance Swordsmanship suffers from being an older book in a field of study that moves rapidly, it will always have a fond place in my memory for being the first book to academically confirm what I had begun to realize: "SCA fighting is a modern sport--no medieval knight would recognize a wrap shot!"
As a basic primer for beginners, this should probably be avoided at this point, since the book makes too many sweeping statements that haven't help up well to nearly a decade's worth of research. As an interesting look at an amalgamized approach to Western Martial Arts, it serves its purpose.
