A History of Weapons: Crossbows, Caltrops, Catapults & Lots of Other Things That Can Seriously Mess You Up by John O'Bryan

5.0

Wow - this was fun! Essentially, this is a catalogue of weaponry with a plenty of interesting historical facts about each featured weapon AND hilarious running commentary. Enjoyed so much more than I expected. Literally could not put it down. Warning: beware of strong language - the author does not pull his punches.

Special thanks to JP Ashman for catching my attention with his review of this book. It would have been a shame to miss it!

PS: if you are into fantasy tabletop RPGs - you WILL want to have this book on your shelf. You can thank me later
