The work presents a comprehensive timeline of offensive and defensive technologies, detailing the craftsmanship, metallurgy, and tactical innovation that shaped the development of warfare across civilisations. Written with scholarly authority, it argues that weaponry is not merely an instrument of conflict but a mirror of human ingenuity, political power, and technological progress. Drawing on historical manuscripts, museum collections, and period illustrations, the text illustrates how each era's dominant weapons defined military strategy and the balance of power between nations. A serious and authoritative reference, it stands as an essential addition to any military history or arms collection library.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48887970463963,"sku":"2026200009565-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/cb60198e-6b6c-4af1-9d74-6fe912ccc8b7.png?v=1781751400","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200009565-secondhand-a-history-of-weaponry","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
