Ancient Weapons: The Story of Weaponry and Warfare Through the Ages

Each weapon, from swords to scimitars and from clubs to crossbows, is set here in the context of the lives of the people who used them. Vivid illustrations, maps and photographs all bring this enthralling subject to life, making this a book to dip into over and over again.
