Arms Through the Ages is the first major attempt to draw together the intricate strands which make up the history of the armour and weapons of war and the chase. The absorbing text and the painstakingly accurate artwork will make this a standard work for many years to come.

The detailed text and hundreds of accurate illustrations trace the evolution of weapons of the battlefield and the hunt from Neolithic axes and Bronze Age swords to the antiaircraft guns of the Second World War.
