As with other books from DK, Weapon: A Visual History of Arms and Armor is filled with high quality photographs along with neatly organized informative captions.
You'll find great visual details of swords, axes, spears, arrows, guns and armor, as well as throwing knives, knuckle daggers, multiple point daggers, and frightening devices from the Middle Ages. The book is divided by eras (Ancient World, Middle Ages, Early Modern World, Revolutionary World, and Modern World), each one with an introduction explaining the period and including historical artwork and photographs of the weapons used during that time. Reading Weapon is like visiting a museum with the best examples of weapons and armor of the last 4,000 years from every corner of the world. – Alessandro Nicoli de Mattos
