One of the best books on the history and psychology of warfare and arms I have read, and I have done a bit of research on the subject. Goes from prehistoric times to modern warfare explaining the evolution of weapons and the attitudes behind their development and use.
High priced required reaging
great value
Dense and if you can plow thru you're at MA possibly Phd level here.
The development of weapons has preceded the development of towns, kingdoms, and civilization! Very readable and very insightful.. One of the best and important books to read and to digest
Very readable, very interesting book. I liked that the author had theories but made the reader aware of opposing theories and the evidence for them. As I read this I enjoyed comparing his history of arms and statements about their effectiveness with the ideas assumed by authors of historical fiction I had enjoyed.
The first 20 or so pages did not rivet me, so the book sat on the shelf for years. However this Memorial Day I picked it up again, and the depth-of-analysis beginning on page 61 I found very cool. A bow is not a bow ! Of course I've never fired anything but a fiberglass techno-marvel - what was the draw-weight of an English Longbow, why did it have to be long, what was the effective range ? The author has a nice feel for details-that-matter, and there is no "padded" feel - at least after page 61, the author shows good taste in concisely providing not-commonly-known insights, sticking those footnotes-I'll-never follow-up-on after page 310 so they don't clutter the main text. The world has changed since 1990, but you knew that - these principles-from-ancient-times, maybe you DIDN'T !
An intensely ponderous and, yes, boring discourse. The author presents long winded notions such as this from Chapter 2 'Dialogue with the Sphinx': "It is among the stingers of the colonial invertebrates and the body armor of the Paleozoic crustaceans that the genesis of weaponry is to be found. Man is but the inheritor of this long tradition". He goes on to mention that in making this point, he hopes to dispel the belief that "weapons development is viewed as fundamentally unnatural, a particular curse of mankind..." At least he prefers not to think of weapons that way. Suffice it to observe that the exoskeletons of trilobites were necessary not only from a standpoint of supporting their internal organs, any defensive element involved was to prevent being eaten by another organism. Although present in some extinct societies, during the 20th century in which this book was written, it was never the case that men used arms against other men with the intention of procuring a tasty morsel for dinner. Driver ant genetics come up in Chapter 3.Occasionally, in his rambling peregrinations, he returns briefly to reality with observations such as "It must not be overlooked that men really do die in battle' in Chapter One, 'Mechanisms'. The author seeks to avoid that pre-eminent fact about arms and men, that it is, sadly, about killing people. Lots of them. As quickly, cheaply and accurately as possible. Statements like "The Mongols, on the other hand, were meticulously disciplined and governed by only the stark logic of predation" or "...gunnery was increasingly coming to be understood as a scientific and mathematical pursuit demanding advanced education not ordinarily associated with the officer-aristocrat" would seem to need some further explanation. How did the Mongols acquire this discipline? Understood by whom, university professors? If you can work your way through the literal tsunami of verbiage, the author does include some interesting facts on weapons, battles in which they were used and the inventors who created new weapon technologies. The authors style of writing however seems to be 'meticulously disciplined' to be well stocked with meandering off the cuff statements and opinions.
