The
Book of the Sword
by Richard Francis Burton
"The history of the sword is the history of humanity."
With these words, British author, Victorian scholar and world traveler,
Sir Richard Burton begins his eloquent and exceptionally erudite history
of the "Queen of Weapons." Spanning centuries, and a wide range of cultures,
Burton illuminates the sword as both ornamental and potent symbol. Drawing
from a wealth of literary, archaeological, anthropological, and other sources,
the author traces the sword's origins, from its birth as a charred and
sharpened stick, through its diverse stages of development, to its full
growth in the early Roman Empire. This text provides an incredible wealth
of detailed data about the sword and its variations: sabres, broadsword,
cutlass, scimitar, rapier, foil as well as dirks, dagger, knives, flails.
Any military and social historian, scholar, or armchair adventurer will
find this volume a fascinating account of this symbol of power. The

Bert S. Hall
Francis Bacon, writing in 1620, remarked that the magnetic compass,
the printing press, and gunpowder changed the appearance and state of the
whole world. Bert S. Hall focuses closely on the last innovation to examine
the effects of changes in military technology on European history in the
late Middle Ages and early modern era. Strategists, he writes, first used
guns as a means of inducing panic in an enemy. When rival armies gained
access to this technology, the psychological use of firearms gave
way to their employment as weapons of mass destruction. With increased
military power came a transformation in the power of states, allowing greater
centralization and force. Military history buffs will find much of interest
in these pages. Amazon.com
