This is an excelent book for all those that would like a fun way to spend a few hours building "siege weapons". If you are a fan of DYI, you'll enjoy the projects within.

Very detailed with a good historical background without being overly dense.

Interesting 25 Mar 2006
Format:Paperback
Nice historical survey, good historical anecdotes, some nice small scale models. I'd like to see a bit more depth in the physics or engineering, to make the book more complete.
