Featured are rare and unique helmets, some previously unseen. The text includes a short history of the belligerent countries - setting the helmets and their development in context - as well as details and dimensions of all helmets. The helmets illustrated come from rarely-seen private collections, as well as national museums, including items not currently on public display.
