David Nicolle was born in 1944, the son of the
illustrator Pat Nicolle. He worked in the BBC Arabic service before
going 'back to school', gaining an MA from the School of Oriental
and African Studies and a PhD from Edinburgh University. He later
taught world and Islamic art and architectural history at Yarmuk
University, Jordan. His numerous previous books for Osprey include
Men-at-Arms 337: ‘French Armies of the Hundred Years War’ and
Campaign 71: ‘Crécy 1346’.
Christa Hook is one of Osprey's most popular illustrators, a
reputation justly deserved given the perfect blend of attention to
detail and narrative realisation that penetrates her work. Her work
for Osprey to date includes Warrior 18: ‘Knight of Outremer
1187-1344 AD’, and Campaign 78: ‘Constantinople 1453’.
Books in Osprey's 'Campaign' series stand out at both secondary and college levels as works' that will engage and sustain student interest ... sophisticated maps and comprehensive graphics complement the texts without overwhelming them.
