{"product_id":"alfreds-wars-ryan-lavelle-9781843835691","title":"Alfred's Wars: Sources and Interpretations of Anglo-Saxon Warfare in the Viking Age","description":"The warfare of the late Anglo-Saxon period had momentous consequences for the development of the English state following Alfred the Great's reign. This book provides a comprehensive guide, with extracts in translation from the principal sources for our knowledge, accompanied by the most important interpretations by scholars through the ages, and new introductions by the present author. It looks at every aspect of the topic, from land and sea forces to logistics and campaigning, from fortifications and the battlefield to the final peacemaking. In so doing, it highlights the significance of warfare and its organisation for the late Anglo-Saxon state, and the multitude of ways in which it was recorded and remembered. Dr Ryan Lavelle teaches in the Department of History at the University of Winchester.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ryan Lavelle\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 184383569X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781843835691\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Boydell Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/21\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 400\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.70h x 6.80w x 1.20d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2011","brand":"Ryan Lavelle","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43938921808127,"sku":"9781843835691","price":115.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_a9959505-3c9d-4efd-b9cc-6ca64bad1f4a.jpg?v=1681438466","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/alfreds-wars-ryan-lavelle-9781843835691","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
