Charge!

School Library Journal

Gr 5-7-While not a definitive guide, this book requires no background reading as it documents the development of weapons and armor. Also featured are forms of early artillery, such as the catapult and ballista. The heavily illustrated text is elucidated by a varied assortment of photographs in black and white and in full color. Complete with index, glossary, sidebars, and pronunciation guide, Charge! is a welcome addition to the existing literature.-L.R. Little, Penticton Public Library, B.C., Canada
