Osprey. LORDS OF BATTLE : The world of the Celtic Warrior

A richly illustrated study of the Celtic Warrior in the Iron Age, the culture which bred him, and the 500 years of history which saw the rise and fall of Celtic civilisation.

The Iron Age civilisation of the Celts combined a fierce reputation as unforgiving warriors with high attainment in the decorative and musical arts. In this richly illustrated study of the Celtic warrior and the civilisation which bred him, Stephen Allen covers five hundred years of ancient history - from the first mention of the Celts by ancient Greek writers to the Roman and Saxon conquests of Celtic Britain; when the Celts were driven back to their western heartland's of Wales and Cornwall. In telling the story of the rise and fall of the Celts, Allen examines both the warrior - his weapons, methods and tactics - and the culture in which he moved. It is an exciting and fascinating study of a culture which, though ultimately defeated in battle left echoes which endure to the present day.
