“A very valuable piece of work, providing a splendid overview” of the weapons, armour, shields and chariots used in warfare from 3000 BC to 1200 BC. This book is a fascinating discussion of the development of the military equipment of the earliest organized armies. Dan Howard describes the development of weapons, armour and chariots, how they were made and their tactical use in battle. Spanning from the introduction of massed infantry by the Sumerians through to the collapse of the chariot civilizations, this is the period of the epic struggles described in the Old Testament and Homer’s Iliad, the clashes of mighty empires like those of the Babylonians, Egyptians and Hittites. In Bronze Age Military Equipment, Howard provides “an able and readable review that is supported in the text by drawings and sketches, but there is also an excellent full colour photographic section that shows replica weapons and armour created in bronze”.
