About this ebook
Armor Facts presents a comprehensive journey through the evolution of personal protection in combat, from ancient shields to modern body armor. It explores how armor development has shaped warfare, military technology, and societies across centuries. Intriguingly, armor has not only served as a defensive tool but also as a catalyst, driving innovation in weaponry and tactics. The book uniquely examines armor as a dynamic response to the changing realities of conflict, highlighting recurring patterns of innovation and adaptation that readers may find surprising.
The book's approach is structured, beginning with early armor forms in ancient civilizations. It progresses through the medieval period, focusing on plate armor's rise and its impact on knightly warfare, before analyzing the effect of gunpowder weapons and the shift to specialized armor in the early modern era. Finally, it delves into the 20th and 21st centuries, examining advancements in materials science and their impact on modern body armor.
Armor production has always been a costly endeavor, influencing military budgets and trade networks, and the book explores these economic factors.
