He has worked for numerous publications over the years, including Military Illustrated. A native of Croatia, Velimir has also served in the armed forces, as a paratrooper.

This book describes the history of the soldier on horseback, from the early horse archers of the Middle East to the Italian mounted crossbowmen of the fifteenth century, and from the sixteenth-century Muscovite boyars to the 7th U.S. Cavalry. An introductory account of the development of cavalry covers the history of its organization and tactics in different forces throughout the world, illustrated with 31 line drawings. Over 100 superb color plates specially commissioned for this book accurately depict representative cavalrymen whose actions shaped the political and military history of their day. Every picture is accompanied by a caption giving concise information about that particular type of cavalry--its history, tactics, and battles, as well as details of dress,weapons, and armor. For centuries the possession of weapons and a horse was a sign of nobility. From the relationship between warrior, hors, and weapons grew the ideal of knighthood and the romantic image of the dashing cavalryman. Behind this familiar myth, however, lies a hard-edged reality. Cavalry were the shock troops of ancient and medieval warfare==a warrior on a horseback was, in general, more powerful, better armed and more maneuverable than a soldier on the ground. The possession of arms and a charger ensured the cavalryman his status, while the possession of cavalry ensured a ruler both spectacle and power. Presumed First U. K. Edition, First printing.
