Military History: The Definitive Visual Guide to the Objects of Warfare (DK Definitive Visual Histories) Kindle Edition

This book has some very well written text on military history, selectively chosen to represent distinct historically significant battles and time periods. The illustrations/photos are very interesting and well presented in the text. I have just started reading it and am pleased with buying this book. It seems to have a much stronger representation of earlier periods of history, the bronze age through World War II---so if you are hoping for more modern military history, seek another book. It is not a comprehensive history (it selects certain battles and time periods), but they are well selected across a large period of history and well worth the price of the text (which was also pleasantly discounted on Amazon). Would be a nice gift for a younger or adult fan of history, especially military history. Enjoy.

Good value, very interesting!

Military history at a glance. Would like more info about the engine factories... weapon industry and their brands... as much as the airplanes and tanks. And why not... ships too. Would like too... about the military clothes. And last but not less important.. the definition of bullets gauge; I think is important understand the size and gauge...mm, 7.62, .08.. not so clear and who determine it... for all everything... images and descriptions at a glance as I said... are great visual description..!

Full coverage of all aspects of combat through the ages. A great book for history students. You cannot go wrong with this book .

This is an exceptional book for those who love military and weapons history. Detailed, full pictures, and truly in depth. My Dad is a big fan!

It'll be a gift for my former president of the dead General's society, my husband who loves to read whenever he has a chance.

I liked the book for what it is. If you want to learn details of various military actions, wars, or insight into leaders and power struggles, this 8th not the book. This is a pictorial review of weapons and military gear through the ages. Also machines of war such as ships, planes, tanks from early on and into the present. More of a browsing coffee table book than a reference book. But the pictures are very good, the book is quality and the explanations accompanying them is interesting. I enjoyed the book, and it might spark enough interest for someone to want to dig deeper into history. It is world wide not just American military items. Hope this is helpful.

Excelente libro. Llegó en perfectas condiciones.Excellent book. Came in perfect conditions.

Maravilhoso muito interessante fora as belas ilustrações...

Un gran libro con alta calidad y fotografias inigualables. Descripciones breves y a modo de referencia sin duda alguna de mucha utilidad. La serie dedicada a las colecciones del Smithsoniano simplemente la mejor. Muy recomendable.

Great book, lots of diagrams and pictures and information. Got it for my dad and he loved it.
