Medieval and military history recommendations?

[yaryar444]

I prefer non-fiction, but I don't mind fiction either. I don't study history as a subject, but when time permits, I like to read about the medieval age and the history of military.

If you want to go back a little further (Roman times), Tom Holland's Rubicon is a great read. Is it strictly medieval military history you're in, or any historical military? I tend to read military memoirs but they might not be of interest to you.

Any history about military in general. The same for medieval.

WW1 - Somme Mud by EFP Lynch is a good read. WW2 - The Forgotten Soldier by Guy Sajer is too.

Thanks, I will check those out. Did you enjoy those all the way through?

Yes, I found both really engrossing reads May not be your thing but worth a look.
