It's a comprehensive introduction, covering primarily Mycenaean weapons and armour, but also Egypt and the Near East, with brief descriptions of chariot warfare. If you want atmospheric (and sometimes very speculative) pictures, then the various Osprey titles are worth looking at.

ajs Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 Picked it up cheap in a summer sale. Sitting on shelf after quick scan. Looks very thorough. Will now be read Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pachristian Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 Own it. Read it. Love it. Strong focus on Mycenaean gear, as mentioned above, but it can really add vermisilitude to your battle scenes. but I'm a history buff, who tries to make things realistic.
