Greetings all,
What are some good books for Central Asian armour? I have Nicolle's Crusading Era book for the East, and some of the Osprey stuff, but is there something that is a must have? The Central Asian equivalent of AAOTMK, you know something with pretty pictures.
Slainte,

While not a book check out this site and go to the Silk Road armory.

Robinson's "Oriental Armour"

Try <a href=http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0486418189/qid=1051545372/sr=8-1/ref=sr_8_1/002-6477490-3264869?v=glance&s=books&n=507846>Amazon</a>

I second Robinson's book - it's a general overview, so not as thorough as one may hope, but it is the best starting point. And it has lots of nice pictures.
