Greek cavalryman
 |
| War Horse: Cavalry in ancient warfare Philip Sidnell Hambledon Continuum, £18.99 (978-1-84725-023-0) Church Times Bookshop £17.10 A grave stela from Athens, c.390 BC. From the book, which challenges a popular view that the horsemen left the real fighting to the infantry. The cavalry were often the battle-winners, says the author; and recreates campaigns from Alexander to the Battle of Hastings to prove it.
