"David Murphy'sCondottiere 1300-1500 - Infamous Medieval Mercenariessurveys those early fighting men who were conscripted by wealthy Italian city states to protect assets during war, providing a blend of military and political history." -The Bookwatch(December 2007)"The author does a superlative job of telling the story of these men and the somewhat unusual life they led, for these mercenary armies were not common elsewhere in Europe at the time... Overall a book that covers a lesser known, but still important part of Western history and one that I'm sure you will enjoy reading." -Scott Van Aken,modelingmadness.com(August 2007)
