The first book, Battles around Ancient Times (an online game), was an introduction to how to forge metal into weapons, armor and other useful items. This is a sequel that should keep anyone with some knowledge of history interested. Just like the first book there are diagrams that help you to understand what is being discussed by the author. A good overview of how to forge metal into weapons, armor and other useful items could change the way you view history
The author has included a lot of information on forging in this book, which is useful for those who wish to make their own weapons but are not that experienced in the art of metalworking. Some of the information available in this book will be very helpful for those who have no idea what they are doing when forging weapons or anything else from iron or steel. There are also many more recipes for making more complex items including shields, spears and arrows as well as tools such as hammers and chisels. It is also quite interesting to read about how these items were made using techniques such as hammering and riveting so that they would be stronger than normal iron or steel.
