Today, re-enactors are exploring all aspects of our past, recreating every period in our military history from the Jacobite risings to the Norman conquest, from the glory days of Queen Victoria's redcoats to the ancient Celts. 'Living history' reveals what it was like for ordinary people, soldiers and civilians, caught up in the events that shaped our present.
Based on the activities of British re-enactors, this is a colourful romp through 2000 years of invasion, defence and civil war. Beginning with the Celts and Romans, clearly laid out sections examine the hardware and strategies of warfare through the Vikings, medieval knights, to the Redcoats and Dad's Army. Illustrated throughout with colour photographs of ancient sites, weapons and re-enactors in action.
