BODY ARMOR
The history of body armour is as old as that of warfare itself. This book traces the ingenious ways in which men have sought to protect themselves from the weapons of their enemies from ancient Egypt down to the hi-tech, lightweight armour of the present day. Clearly illustrated and concisely told, the book covers a vast breadth of cultures, from ancient Middle-Eastern Empires, to that of Rome and from the Middle Ages to the 20th century’s world wars. It describes the evolution of helmets, breast-plates and moulded limb protectors and describes armour as works of art as well as the fully functional.
