THE FALL OF MOORISH SEVILLE 1023-1091: The Creation and Destruction of a Hispanic-Muslim Kingdom in the 11th Century
Reconstructs the rise, flowering, and collapse of the Kingdom of Seville between 1023 and 1091. Rather than presenting al-Andalus as a monolithic civilization, reveals a fractured political landscape marked by shifting alliances, internal rivalries, and ideological tension. Explores the often-neglected conflicts between Muslim kingdoms, the brutal realities of taifa warfare, and the decisive intervention of the Almoravids from North Africa – initially invited as allies, but ultimately the agents of Seville's destruction. The narrative culminates in the dramatic fall of the city and the exile of its last ruler, bringing an abrupt end to Seville's brief but intense period of power. Drawing on a wide range of primary written sources and recent archaeological disies including material from the palace of al-Mu'tamid, combines political, military, and cultural history.

GARRISONS AND GARRISON WARFARE IN THE BRITISH CIVIL WARS, 1638-1653
Drawing on extensive archival research and published primary sources, examines the role of garrisons – their composition, logistics, financing, armament, and clothing – with particular attention to Worcester, Lichfield, and Windsor. Many books about ECW overlook a defining feature of the conflict: the most frequent forms of combat were not set-piece engagements, but sieges and assaults on fortified positions. Substantial numbers of both Royalist and Parliamentarian troops were committed to garrisoning cities, towns, and ports, which imposed heavy burdens on local civilian populations, who were compelled to supply taxes, goods, and labor. Contains 23 black-and-white photos and illustrations, 3 black-and-white maps, and 22 tables. $45.00 USD
