The Art of War in the Middle Ages: A.D. 378-1515

Charles Oman

Military History

Oman's rigorous survey of medieval military tactics and organization from the battle of Adrianople to the Italian Wars—how armies were constituted, how battles were won, and how strategic doctrine evolved over a thousand years. Altman has named it as an unconventional recommendation that rewards founders interested in how competitive strategy and organizational structure determine outcomes at scale.
