This was the first HWMA book I found after reading John Clements' Medieval Swordsmanship, and is still, in my opinion, the benchmark by which other HWMA books should be judged in terms of presentation and format. I have had occasion to learn from Mr. Tobler in person a few times, and have as much respect for him as a person as I do as a researcher in this field. As an introduction to the Liechtenauer school of martial arts, a better book would be Mr. Tobler's later "Fighting with the German Longsword." However, this is better as an interpretive text for the original manuscript.
