Fought across what is now built up, Wimbledon the battle raged from the ford that carried the Roman road Stane Street over the River Wandle to the defences of Caesar's Camp on Wimbledon Common. The bloodshed was profuse as thousands of men packed shoulder to shoulder hacked at each other with spear, sword and knife. In this book, historian Oliver Hayes outlines the reasons for the war and gives detailed notes on English weaponry and tactics of the time before describing the events of the battle itself and its aftermath.
