Book Synopsis Helmets and Body Armor in Modern Warfare by : Bashford Dean
Book excerpt: Published shortly World War I, this book presents the virtues and failings of helmets and body armor in warfare of the time. To this end, it brings together materials collected from all accessible sources; it shows the kinds of armor which each nation used in World War I, their strengths, and weaknesses. This publication approaches then-contemporary armor in a historical context, weighing aesthetic and practical concerns and comparing armor to well-known pieces in the Met's collection.
