The Historical Dictionary of Ancient Egyptian Warfare is aimed primarily at students and the interested reader. It presumes no detailed knowledge of ancient Egypt. The arrangement of the book as a dictionary means that it can be used on its own as a research tool, or in conjunction with other works, such as histories, or translations of Egyptian texts. The user can find concise definitions and descriptions, and brief accounts of military actions. Through the cross-referencing of each entry, and in conjunction with the bibliography, the user can pursue the wider issues and find more detailed studies.
Since the spectacular discovery of Nineveh 150 years ago, countless excavators have been searching for the lost civilizations of the ancient Near East.

The Firearms Dictionary differs from the usual dictionary in that it goes beyond the mere defining of a term or word. Wherever possible the textual matter, as well as the photographs and the drawings, further explain the term itself and its relationship with other terms of our gun language.
