Weapon: A Visual History of Arms and Armor

Description

Weapons illustrated history
from ancient world (3000 bce–1000 ce), middle ages (1000–1500)
         early modern world (1500–1775), revolutionary world (1775–1900)
to     modern world (1900–2006)

For 4,000 years weapons, and the warriors who used them, have acted as the cutting edge of history, using ax, spear, bow, sword, gun, and cannon to determine the rise of kingdoms and the fall of empires.
From the stone axes of the earliest warfare to the heavy artillery of today's modern armies, this awe-inspiring book portrays for the first time the entire spectrum of weaponry.
A spectacular, unprecedented visual reference to the design, function and history of arms and armor from around the world. Combines specially commissioned photography and sophisticated design with authoritative text and exhaustive coverage. Beautifully photographed and richly detailed catalogues display - often at actual size - all the major types of weapon, from spears to machine-guns.
Profiles the warriors who have deployed the weapons to devastating effect, from the Roman legionary to the US Navy Seal.
Includes features that showcase individual weapons in stunning detail.
