Description
This encyclopedia of firearms is both an authoritative reference work and a stunning visual directory, explaining the development of arms through the centuries.

A full list of manufacturers and a glossary complete this easy-to-use encyclopedia.
The book is essential reading for anyone interested in gun manufacture and conflicts of war.
