4.0 out of 5 stars Castles: Is a highly detailed and technical study., 27 Jun 1998

By A Customer

As an Army Officer the study of military history is a professional necessity. The book: Castles their Construction and History has proven to be an incredible aid to this end. I am stationed in Europe and use the book as a guide when I travel and explore the castles in Germany, France and Italy. The book is very technical, it wastes some space giving detailed step by step descriptions of many castles but the casual reader of history will find the drawings, photos and overviews of history very interesting. The text of the book is rather dull to the non-history buff. It was very useful as a reference book while at the University of Florida.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent resource for medieval castle buffs!, 7 Dec 2006

By	F. E. Mckinney "frank mckinney" (Derby, England) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought this book many years ago in the US because of my interest in general medieval knowledge and warfare, gained from years of Dungeons & Dragons playing and (of course) movie watching. I learned so many things from this book that would add to the general knowledge of European castles of anyone interested in the subject. I didn't find it boring or repetitive, instead it was fulfilling and packed with useful (possibly nerdy) information. Anyone wanting to get general info on a variety of 'classic' European castles should give this a read. For gamers and roleplayers the book has many floorplans so you can contrast what you see in-game with what an actual castle is really like.
