Used Book in Good Condition
> most armies used spear/pole weapons as primary infantry
Proper use in a well-trained infantry line with polearms will defeat a line of sword-wielding enemy nearly any day. The sword-wielders had to get inside of the pole's reach to have any effect, read this for some tactics in fighting with and against the armor-and-spear combination, or watch this clip explaining some of those tactics.
Dimicator on facebook is one place for pretty great info on sword and buckler.
As for books... You could go with the pretty outdated Sword and Buckler book from Chivalry Bookshelf. Found here on Amazon.
Then there is new book (BTW thanks for having me look this up, I didn't even know this existed)
Next in line would be Manciolino.
You could also try looking at Lignitzer through Wiktenauer.com. That is going to more updated than David Lindholm's books (two links btw), or Christian Tobler's. But, it is nice to have physical copies.
I believe this book might be of use to you.
All you need is a couple of friends, some mats and a translated treatise and you can start throwing yourselves about. If you get stuck, ask online.
