“Janos Hunyadi” is the result of over a decade’s research, and includes material not found in English. The authorative text, by a respected expert in the field, is supported by contemporary woodcuts as well as specially commissioned art by a reknown military illustrator. Heraldry is both described as well as shown in colour. This is the first in a series of books on historical subjects written by Bob Black and published by Freezywater Publications. The second in the series is also available “The Samogitians, Sword Brothers and the Battle of Saule 1236”. This follows the same pattern, with an authorative text that includes the latest research on the location of the battle, maps and illustration and examples of early heraldry. The third, concerning the struggle of the Bulgarians for independence in the medieval period is in preparation. Both books are available from Freezywater Publications at landlsoc@aol.com

“The result of over twelve years of research, Bob’s readable style is backed by maps and diagrams, a host of contemporary illustrations and some specially commissioned detailed artwork from military illustrator Richard Judson. For the collector and painter there is a wealth of information abut armour, uniform, weapons and flags”. -- Rob Hendrie, Editor: Toy Soldier Collector magazine
