Summary: "The Art of War in the Middle Ages A.D. 378-1515" by Charles Oman is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book delves into military strategies, tactics, and the evolution of warfare throughout the medieval period, offering insights into the transition from ancient Roman military practices to the rise of feudal armies. Oman examines key battles, military reforms, and the social context that influenced the art of war during this extensive timeframe. The opening of the work lays the groundwork for understanding the complexities and transformations in military history from the late Roman Empire to the early modern period. Oman discusses the decline of the Roman legions and the emergence of cavalry as a dominant force on the battlefield, particularly highlighted by the catastrophic Battle of Adrianople. This pivotal event serves as a case study for the shift in military organization and strategy, marking the transition into a new military paradigm characterized by increasing reliance on mounted troops in response to evolving threats and challenges.
