This series of books are really good as they have sufficient detail to provide all of the background information to the period and the text is allied to a widecrange of illustrations that really illuminate the text. I am a war gamer and these volumes provide an excellent basis for understanding a period and the essentials that distinguish the politics and tactics of the era.
