The fabled treasures of China span thousands of years of history.
From the exotic Silk Road to the mysterious Great Wall, China’s
allure is as vast as the country itself. Here, Natasha Bennett

of the world’s earliest civilisations, she chronicles the
development of personal weapons and armour from the late Bronze Age
to the early twentieth century. It is ideal for anyone interested
in the military and material culture of this absorbing land.
The book forms part of a series of introductions to aspects of the
Royal Armouries’ collection of arms and armour. Written by
specialists in the field, they are packed full of fascinating
