Review by School Library Journal Review

Gr 5 Up‘An excellent visual introduction to military arts and science. Holmes traces the history of battle and warfare from the ancient Assyrians to World War I. Each chapter contains an assortment of full-color captioned photos and drawings featuring explanations on most aspects of war: infantry, artillery, supply and transport, reconnaissance, etc. Presented in a clear style with stunning photographs, this browsable book is the next best thing to visiting a museum.‘L.R.

Review by Horn Book Review

Clear color photographs of weapons, uniforms, and other artifacts of warfare accompany a succinct text that provides scattered information on historical battles, most of which occurred before the 1900s. Military buffs will be fascinated. Ind. From HORN BOOK 1995, (c) Copyright 2010. The Horn Book, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.
