Review:
[...] I highly recommend this book. This book will be a joy to read for both the historian and the laymen and no particular deep background is necessary to just pick this up and start reading. I found the book interesting from a historical perspective and I think there could be a wealth of material useful to the historical wargamer. I can see about a dozen different ideas for your favorite miniature wargames here. --Outpostzero.net
King Arthur was informative, expertly researched and written in a way that didn't make it out to be boring. This is the first book that I read in the Myths and Legends series. With the way it went, I can't wait to go back for more. --The Bookish Owl
