From the earliest times, humans have always had a need for weapons, whether for hunting, attacking or for protection. This book takes the reader through time, exploring the reality of what it was like to live in the past, from prehistoric times to life in the modern world. Each weapon - from clubs, axes and slings through crossbows, helmets, and swords, and then sophisticated tanks, submarines and modern fighter planes - is set in the context of the lives of the people who used them.
