This is a comprehensive and richly illustrated account of weapons, armour and clothing developments from Europe, Asia, North Africa, South and Central America. The warriors appear arranged according to historical sections, beginning with Egyptian warriors in 3000 B.C. and ending with the European mercenaries of the 17th century. As a precursor to Kannik's "Uniforms in Colour", soldiers from the first uniformed national regiments are shown on the last plates. The colour illustrations are also excellent for painting.
