John Hawkwood: An English Mercenary in Fourteenth-Century Italy
This ambitious account of Hawkwood is both a biography and a study of warfare and statecraft. William Caferro has mined more than twenty archives in England and Italy, creating an authoritative portrait of Hawkwood as an extraordinary military leader, if not always an admirable human being. In addition to a thorough account of Hawkwood's life and career, Caferro's study offers a fundamental reassessment of the Italian military situation and of the mercenary system.
