“A ‘must have’ book for anyone who has an interest in edged weapons . . . Loades holds the reader’s full attention with each sword’s story that he tells.” —The Lone Star Book Review This magnificent book tells the story of the evolution of swords, how they were made, how they were used, and the people that used them. It doesn’t claim to give comprehensive coverage but instead takes certain surviving examples as landmarks on a fascinating journey through the history of swords. Each is selected because it can be linked to a specific individual, thus telling their story too and giving a human interest. So the journey starts with the sword of Tutankhamun and ends with the swords of J. E. B. Stuart and George Custer. Along the way we take in Henry V, Cromwell and Uesugi Kenshin, and there is the most detailed discussion you’ll find anywhere of all of George Washington’s swords. The chapters on these specific swords and swordsmen are alternated with more general chapters on the changing technical developments and fashions in swords and their use. The reader’s guide on this historical tour is Mike Loades. Mike has been handling swords most of his life, as a fight arranger, stuntman and historical weapons expert for TV and stage. As much as his profound knowledge of the subject, it is his lifelong passion for swords that comes through on every page. His fascinating text is supported by a lavish wealth of images, many previously unpublished and taken specifically for this book. “Superb . . . the most breathtaking coverage from the earliest days to modern times. Brilliant.” —Books Monthly

Featuring hundreds of black-and-white illustrations of marksmanship medals, prizes, and badges, plus a special full-color section, this encyclopedia of U.S. Army shooting awards and training program rewards is a must-have for military historians and collectors. In Marksmanship in the U.S. Army, William K. Emerson details weapons training from the 1850s to the present, gathering this information for the first time in a single volume. Emerson highlights the philosophies behind army marksmanship and documents the awards, prizes, and badges bestowed upon the War Department’s most elite shooters, artillerymen, and swordsmen. Proficiency training discussed in this book includes the use of sabers, cannons, sea mines, bayonets, tank weapons, aerial gunnery, bombs, and other weapons. Emerson integrates discussion of the criteria, people, and rationale behind each award into this historical account. Emerson’s emphasis on national rifle and pistol matches, the history of selected army and NRA trophies, and significant players in the army’s weapons training development enhances the comprehensive appeal of the latest contribution to military history by this experienced author.

In the 1600s, the outer world, religion and physical needs almost totally filled, shaped and absorbed man's inner awareness - a conformist in his thoughts, feelings and beliefs. That world had little room for the individualist - and the individualist was not even fully aware of his being one. We must remember that English people in the 1600s had an unbelievable tolerance of pain, and few scruples about inflicting it. Talking to an elderly Spanish doctor, who had graduated in 1949 and directly entered a big Barcelona hospital, he told me that Spanish peasants and factory workers who could not read or write had a phenomenal indifference to pain, even atrocious pain, as against the sensibilities of 1985, when we talked. Thousands of these patients passed through the hospital... He said those with primary education who ALSO read newspapers or cheap novels were ever more sensitive. He told me patients with secondary education suffered more, while University graduates had an even poorer tolerance. Women complained much less than men.
