War and Weapons
Brian Williams
Paperback
(Random House, March 12, 1987)
This book is one in a series from 1987 called Random House All-About Books. Visually dramatic and easy enough for children to read on their own, this is an exciting series of books. War and Weapons tells how warfare evolved and became more devastating as new weapons were invented, from the ancient Roman sword and javelin, to the crossbow and siege engine of the Middle Ages, to the powerful tanks, planes and missiles of modern times.
