Lake Peipus 1242: Battle of the ice Dr David Nicolle

The story of the struggle between the Teutonic Knights and the Russian city state of Novgorod, under their leader Alexander Nevsky.

The clash of arms around the frozen shores of Lake Peipus came to be known as The Battle on the Ice. The text is accompanied by six battlescene artworks and three bird's-eye-view maps showing the course of the battle.

He later taught world and Islamic art and architectural history at Yarmuk University, Jordan. He has written many books and articles on medieval and Islamic warfare, and has been a prolific author of Osprey titles for many years. David lives and works in Leicestershire, UK.
