Exploring History

| Summary/Abstract |
Prehistoric hunters with clubs and spears, Viking raiders wielding axes, Samurai warriors in deadly combat - from the earliest times humans have always had a need for weapons, whether for hunting, attacking or for self-defence. 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.
