Special Operations in the Age of Chivalry, 1100-1550 (Warfare in History) (Warfare in History) is a 2007 Hebrew-language medieval military history book written by Yuval Noah Harari.
"Alongside the familiar pitched battles, regular sieges, and large-scale manoeuvers, medieval and early modern wars also involved assassination, abduction, treason, and sabotage.

Because of their clandestine nature, and the consequent scarcity of contemporary records, covert operations have not previously been studied in any detail; this book is the first to survey special operations from the eleventh century to the sixteenth"--Jacket.
