Monck's Military Manuals

 

We've lucked into another wondrous English import - "Monck's Military Manuals for the Re-enactor Series".  Written by John Litchfield, these are modern translations of period military manuals, well illustrated and with modern commentary and translations of each individual action.  Highly recommended for the new soldier.
