5.0 out of 5 stars Great reference for young minds. . ., April 11, 2001

This review is from: Ancient Weapons & Warfare (Exploring History) (Hardcover)

This is an excellent reference book for young readers. Each section addresses specific types of weapons, providing a wide variety of color and black-and-white illustrations and multiple examples from around the world. Additional sections of the book also address armor, shields, siege weapons, fortresses, etc., and the combination of text and images provide very good, although brief reference information. You could do much worse for an easy reference on pre-gunpowder weapons. This is a great book.
