• Flying Fortress of World War II - the epitome of US military superiority

• bomb on Hiroshima that made a weapon the ultimate deterrent

• AK-47 rifle.

A History of the World in 100 Weapons presents each weapon in full detail, exploring the how and why of the weapon's development, the times from which it emerged, how it was used in battle and by whom, and to what extent and impact. details of how and why each weapon was invented, the times they emerged from, how they were used in battle.
