Military History: The Definitive Visual Guide to the Objects of Warfare (DK Definitive Visual Histories)

This book has some very well written text on military history, selectively chosen to represent distinct historically significant battles and time periods. The illustrations/photos are very interesting and well presented in the text. I have just started reading it and am pleased with buying this book. It seems to have a much stronger representation of earlier periods of history, the bronze age through World War II---so if you are hoping for more modern military history, seek another book. It is not a comprehensive history (it selects certain battles and time periods), but they are well selected across a large period of history and well worth the price of the text (which was also pleasantly discounted on Amazon). Would be a nice gift for a younger or adult fan of history, especially military history. Enjoy.

Military history at a glance. Would like more info about the engine factories... weapon industry and their brands... as much as the airplanes and tanks. And why not... ships too. Would like too... about the military clothes. And last but not less important.. the definition of bullets gauge; I think is important understand the size and gauge...mm, 7.62, .08.. not so clear and who determine it... for all everything... images and descriptions at a glance as I said... are great visual description..!

A great book for any military history enthusiast. Quality printed, very informative. A great coffee table book

Got this for my 11 year old for a birthday gift. He loves it! It has been the thing he's thanked us for most often. He's pouring over it most nights before bed.

Well illustrated.

Full coverage of all aspects of combat through the ages. A great book for history students. You cannot go wrong with this book .

Will make one want more of their favorite era and weapons. Great illustrations and pictures.

Purchased for a upcoming enthusiast of all things military. His father is a decorated Army Special Ops and this book was something special for his son.
