Oriental Armour

Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Detailed, scholarly survey of defensive armour used in the Middle East and Asia—from the scale armour of ancient Egypt to Japanese "modern" armour of the 19th century. Over 300 line illustrations (largely the author's own work) and over 100 photos depict armour of Persia, Turkey, India, China, Ceylon, the Philippines, Korea, Tibet, and other regions. A splendid overview of the decorative qualities and crucial defensive features in a book that brings together much previously inaccessible material.
