by Hugh D. H. Soar. Softbound, 241 pages, 6" x 9". Through a remarkable command of primary sources and a judicious use of material evidence-including his own important collection of longbows- Hugh D.H. Soar establishes the deep connection of this bow to the British Isles and chronicles its use in warfare and society. In addition to the illustrated text, the book contains appendices detailing the history and design of bracers, tabs and tips, quivers and arrowheads associated with the longbow.
