At first glance, Stewart Ross's Knights seems a melange of movie-stills, photographs, drawings, and reproductions specifically for students with ultra-short attention spans. When read, however, Mr. Ross's history proves a surprisingly informative, sequential introduction to knights as mounted warriors from Ancient Egyptian charioteers to contemporary Canadian Mounties, including Conquistadors, Cossacks, and U.S. Cavalrymen-along with Crusaders. Within its broad scope, report writers with attention spans of any length are sure to find a topic for further research.
