The Evolution of Weapons and Warfare (Da Capo Paperback)

Rating:
Summary: The Standard for Military History
Review: Attention Publisher: Cover Photo is not an M-1 Abrams tank, it is an M-60. Although this error may distract from the book, we will not judge its contents by the cover. Reccomended for novices and experts of military history alike. An interdisciplinary work to provide a coherent framework to the technological evolution of warfare.

Summary: Disappointed
Review: I was quite disappointed with this book. There are a number of errors that I have found in the materials that I am most familiar with which causes me to doubt most of what is said about the things I am unfamiliar with. Dupuy seems in most cases to merely be parroting back popular American conceptions of history, which often have little to do with what really happened. The mis-labeled cover photo (it's an M-60 not an M-1) is definitely a warning sign that should be heeded.
