What is a Khaiber knife, what is a rapier or a franziska? How does a catapult differ from a blide, a Nordenfelt from a Gatling gun? How do a wheellock, a torpedo or a bazooka work? This unique universal work presents the most important weapons of the past 7000 years. It starts with the Stone Age throwing stick and does not leave out the modern stealth fighter. Basic inventions are explained just as impressively simply as complicated technology. A clear structure, concise, comprehensible texts and a wealth of facts make the book an indispensable reference work for experts, collectors and weapons enthusiasts and a unique treasure trove for all readers interested in history and technology.
