Description

New York, New York, U.S.A.: Atheneum, 1979. 190 pages; 2nd printing. Tight, clean book; illustrated. The dj has some wear, small chips along edges; unclipped. "On Christmas Day 1241 the armies of Batu Khan, the founder of the Golden Horde, crossed the Danube while the disunited kingdoms of the West lay at their mercy. The Mongol invasion of Europe was entering its final phase, and it seemed as if all of Christendom was about to be destroyed by soldiers from Hell. The Devil's Horsemen is an exmination of the origins and consequences of this extraordinary campaign. Based on a wealth of contemporary sources, it describes in detail the tactics and training of the finest army the world has ever seen, and tells the story of Subedei Bahadur, the illiterate military genius who brought 20th century warfare to mediaeval Europe.".
