98pp, with plentiful monochrome illustrations in text. Glossy, illustrated stiff card covers.  4to.  A little gentle edge wear to card covers; a previous owner’s blind embossed stamp on the first leaf, else neat, clean, bright and tight.

This copy comes from the library of the late George R P Gush.  Gush was head of history at West Kent College but is perhaps better remembered as a key contributor to the development of early wargaming, and as an active wargamer especially in Renaissance wargames.  His Renaissance Armies (1975) has become a classic work on the topic.  Founder of the Tunbridge Wells Wargames Society in the late 1960s, he was its chairman until 2007.  A regular contributor to wargaming and modelling magazines, he also wrote, with Andrew Finch, A Guide to Wargaming (1980) and the well-regarded Wargames Rules for Fifteenth to Seventeenth Centuries.
