This is the first update of A Cumulative Bibliography of Medieval Military History and Technology, which appeared in 2002. It is meant to do two things: to present references to works on medieval military history and technology not included in the first volume; and to present references to all books and articles published on medieval military history and technology from 2000 to 2002. These references are divided into the same categories as in the first volume and cover a chronological period of the same length, from late antiquity to 1648, again in order to present a more complete picture of influences on and from the Middle Ages. It also continues to cover the same geographical area as the first volume, in essence Europe and the Middle East, or, again, influences on and from this area. The languages of these bibliographical references reflect this geography.

The CD-ROM version is very easy to use and includes a feature that allows users to add their own notes to the record."
P.M. Konieczny, Choice, 2005.
"The conceptualization and publication of this bibliography greatly assists the advance of medieval and early modern "military historical research. It should aid related areas of military history. It is an ambitious and difficult task. It will be widely consulted by diverse groups. I cannot adequately emphasize the utility of this work and the enormity of the achievement. It will enable scholars to begin to get a handle on bibliography of military history. Its publication greatly stimulates military history as a discipline. ... This bibliography is primarily of use to the scholar and graduate student, but undergraduates and instructors can also consult it for pedagogical purposes, for example, to assist in the preparation of courses on military history. Scholarly libraries and institutes should purchase it. Scholars whether young or old need to know about it."
