Get up close to more than 400 of the most important and groundbreaking examples ever built - jump aboard an Assyrian battering ram, drive a Mark V tank, pilot a Supermarine Spitfire, and take the controls of a state-of-the-art MQ-9 Reaper drone. Discover the awesome destructive power of these machines as well as how they are used to support, defend, and protect, and the diverse ways in which war has been waged on the ground, at sea, and in the air.

Profiling the very latest military technology and hardware in unparalleled detail, this engrossing book tells you everything you need to know about this fascinating area of history. It is a must for military enthusiasts of all ages.
