Book Reviews of The Art of the Catapult: Build Greek Ballistae, Roman Onagers, English Trebuchets, and More Ancient Artillery
Book Review: Interesting
Summary: 3 Stars
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.
