This book explains the history of weapons from time to time, with illustrations accompanied by clear descriptions we are invited to wade through time to get to know various weapons. What, why guns are created, over time and knowledge of weapons are changing.
"Weapons have a unique appeal for collectors and museums because of their
technology, materials, craftsmanship, and beauty. The most ordinary weapons tell
the story of the time and the society in which they were made and used. Though
they served and continue to serve deadly purposes, weapons allow a glimpse into
human history"
