José Manuél Rico Cortés (Mister JM) - Miniaturas JM

The main strength of this book is Howard's determination to stick to provable facts. He gives a very convincing explanation. A very valuable piece of work. A splendid overview of the current state of knowledge on the military equipment of these early civilisations.

This book looks closely at the development of tactics, weapons and armour of the Bronze Age that have been largely overlooked because of the frequent assumption that the Iron Age created the basis of later warfare. Central to the review is the examination of replica arms and armour that have recreated full-scale examples of military equipment that is largely recognized from drawings and sculpture.

The author has provided an able and readable review that is supported in the text by drawings and sketches, but there is also an excellent full colour photographic section that shows replica weapons and armour created in bronze.
