Medieval Combat: A Fifteenth-Century Illustrated Manual of Swordfighting and Close-Quarter Combat (Greenhill Military Paperbacks) by Hans Talhoffer
This is an interesting book, a classic in the field. It gets the point across (pun intended) via a collection of gritty little illustrations that would be amusing in any other context. No messing around, here.
