Great book like most DK books are but just in case you didn't notice... this is a reprint of "War: Definitive Visual Guide" published by DK. I thought it was a "new" book when I saw it at Costco and bought it. Once home, I found out it was the same as the book I already had but with a different name. Small print on the front cover says it's a reprint but I didn't notice that.
Hi there, just recived Warfare 2 days ago. The book has an excellent layout,full of pictures,fact boxes,charts timelines etc.Certainly a must read for any History or military buff of any age.Of course the time span it covers is too extensive hence the info provided is not of the in-depth kind but nonetheless very informative.The reason why I give it 4 stars is because the paperback binding is poor quality, at 512 pages it seems it will come apart any moment.All in all, lovely glossy book but beware the binding.
The content is good what I expected but wow could this be written any smaller. Very hard to read beware and make sure you read the description where it states paperback version. I was expecting a big hardbound book with beautiful graphics. Disappointing
Our boys LOVE this book. They pull out this book out time and time again to read and re-read. A great investment that has taught and entertained our kids and their father. A great bargain to spend some father/son time together reading about all the "boy stuff" that thrills the males in our lives.
