Beautiful pictures bring the subjects of DK's books to life. The book has words, but the pictures tell the reader all he/she needs to know. Fascinating facts a great way to learn about them.

It's another great book from the Eyewitness series. It shows photographs of the different arms and armor from ancient times through the Old West. One interesting weapon was a knife, pistol, and brass knuckles all in one.
