A Bit of A 'Round-Up'

 Two From Helion:


(1) Elephants & Gunpowder - SE Asian Warfare 1380-1700  by Stephen Turnbull (now there's a name I haven't heard for a while).

I have had this book for about 2 weeks but only just got around to looking at it.  

 

 (2) Kerns & Gallowglasses - Newly arrived - another one going into my reading pile.
