Thumbs up for Warrior: A Visual History of the Fighting Man by R. G. Grant. History.
A magnificent book. I got it from the library, and even before I’d finished reading it I’d ordered my own copy. It’s the most gorgeous picture book you could imagine – every page is packed with huge photos of armor and weaponry that are the next best thing to having the stuff in front of you – but unlike many pictorial books, there’s no stinting on the information presented in the text, either. The perfect writer’s reference book, and an absolute necessity for anyone interested in the history of warfare.
