Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Across thousands of years, humanity has refined the art of attack. Few works chart that dark ingenuity with more authority than H. S. Cowper's sweeping study of weapons before the coming of gunpowder. Every weapon tells a story. Moving from the earliest stone and bronze implements through the swords, spears, shields and siege devices of ancient to medieval warfare, Cowper traces the development of offensive weapons as both practical tools and expressions of culture, belief and technology. The result is a military history book that doubles as a meticulous arms and armor reference: a historical weapons study that illuminates the evolution of ancient weaponry and the long, intricate history of edged weapons.First published in the age when scientific antiquarianism was transforming the study of the past, The Art of Attack stands as an important source for the history of warfare technology and a key reference for military historians, curators, reenactors and collectors alike. Clear, precise and endlessly curious, Cowper writes for the interested general reader as much as for the specialist, making this volume a vivid guide for reenactors and collectors who want to understand pre gunpowder era weapons in their original context and a touchstone in the wider illustrated history of weapons. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike.
