From the cover: The Weapons That Changed The World tells the dramatic story of the development of key armaments in technological, strategic, tactical and historical terms. Covering land, sea and air warfare, it explains what these weapons were, how they were developed and the impact they had on the battlefield, for with the birth of modern industry and the growth of nationalism in the 19th century, the whole nature of warfare was revolutionized. The story of the tank, for instance, starts with the cumbersome machines launched into hasty and ill-conceived action during the Battle of the Somme in World War I, going on from this to show how the weapon developed from these inauspicious beginnings to prove itself at the Battle of Cambrai and then to become the dominant factor in the key battles of World War II.

Fully illustrated throughout with explanatory artwork including specially developed illustrations to demonstrate the significance of a specific weapon in action and photographs, The Weapons That Changed The World not only gives you an invaluable insight into the great military events of the immediate past. It also brings to vivid life the dramatic events which have shaped the world of today.
