Description:
UK: Osprey, 2003. 2nd Printing. Soft Cover. Very Good. 6x0x9. Spedaliere, D. & S.S. Second printing. Minor ink marks on front cover. 2003 Soft Cover. 64 pp. The defence of the 9th-century kingdom of Wessex under King Alfred against the 'Great Viking Army' is one of the major military achievements of Early Medieval history. While the guerrilla warfare in the Somerset marshes and the battle of Edington are characteristic of Alfred's military abilities, his definitive physical achievement was a series of some 30 well-structured fortifications (known as burhs) across the kingdom. Many of these fortifications survive to this day and some were even reinforced to stand up to German tanks in the expected invasion of 1940. This title describes their beginnings in the turbulent early years of Alfred's reign as well as their subsequent development and use.

Osprey, United Kingdom, 2003. Edition Unstated. Softcover. Good Condition. Illustrator: Spedaliere. The defence of the 9th-century kingdom of Wessex under King Alfred the Great against the 'Great Viking Army' is one of the major military achievements of early medieval history. While the guerrilla warfare in the Somerset marshes and the battle of Edington are characteristic of Alfred's military abilities, his definitive physical achievement was a series of some 30 well-structured fortifications across the kingdom. They continued to form a basis of West Saxon rule during the period of the emergence of an English kingdom in the 10th century under Alfred's son, King Edward 'the Elder'. This title traces the development, construction and impact of these fortifications from the 9th to the 11th centuries AD. Card Covers. Size: 180mm - 250mm. 64 pages. Covers have some shelf-wear, a few marks, as well as some bumping to corners and extremities. Illustrator: Spedaliere. Quantity…
