Examining armed conflict at all levels, and ranging across China and the central Asian steppes to southwest Asia, western Europe, and beyond, Morillo explores the technological, social, cultural, and environmental determinants of warfare and the tools and tactics used by warriors on land and at sea.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePart I explains the geographical, political, and technological rules that shaped patterns of military activity everywhere. Part II explores how these rules played out in various historical contexts. Armed conflict played a central role in the making of the medieval world, and medieval people used war and conflict to create, expand, and defend their communities and identities. But the devastating effects of climate change and epidemic disease continually reshaped these communities and the nature of their conflicts.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBroad in its scope and rich in detail, \u003ci\u003eWar and Conflict in the Middle Ages\u003c\/i\u003e will be the go-to guide for students and aficionados of military history, medieval history, and global history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003ci\u003ePreface\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e Acknowledgments\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e List of Figures\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e PART ONE: The Basic Rules of Medieval Warfare\u003cbr\u003e 1 Three Battles\u003cbr\u003e 2 Questions and Methods\u003cbr\u003e 3 Geography, Politics, and War\u003cbr\u003e 4 Technology and War or The Common Rules of Combat\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e PART TWO: Three Scenarios: Medieval Warfare in Changing Conditions\u003cbr\u003e 5 The Early Middle Ages, 540-850: Wars of Medievalization\u003cbr\u003e 6 The High Middle Ages, 850-1300: Wars of Encounter and Connection\u003cbr\u003e 7 The Late Middle Ages, 1300-1500?
