tmcgOakeshott's The Archaeology of Weapons is a wonderful, readable work. It was the first book I turned to when I needed to know more about the kind of longblades people in my fiction might use.
John Clements: "Ewart Oakeshott, the great 20th century British sword researcher and collector, passed away on September 20, 2002, at the age of 86. To say he was the most important figure in the subject in the last century is probably no exaggeration."
The rest of Clements' tribute is here.
