It traverses the centuries and continents while focusing exclusively on fighting tools that are not the usual suspects. It also brings to light some historical weapons and fighting techniques that have never before been surveyed. The diverse panoply of objects takes the reader from islands (Hawaii, Okinawa, New Zealand), to plains (Argentina, the American Southwest) and from jungles (Borneo, Brazil) to cities (New York City, London, Seoul, Tokyo, Venice). Nor are those complete lists. Sources include but are not limited to Chinese and Japanese martial arts texts, Irish mythology, Victorian crime blotters, naval history, Greek classics, Roman historians, the memoirs of English knights and 21st century headlines. Robert Escobar's first weapons book was praised by an American History professor, an award winning author, an archeologist, a legendary weapons author and others. He worked feverishly to ensure this work is a worthy follow-up.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-11825159\"\u003eRobert Escobar\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Gatekeeper Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/02\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 268\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.56d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781662940651\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1662940653\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-HIS\"\u003eHistory\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-HIS027080\"\u003eMilitary | Weapons\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-HIS\"\u003eHistory\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-HIS027130\"\u003eWars \u0026amp; Conflicts | General\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Gatekeeper Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44482158297325,"sku":"9781662940651","price":30.65,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/products\/img_805010d5-6c93-4416-9edc-ac6de1dd8963.jpg?v=1700759849","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/products\/deadly-ingenuity-a-history-of-unusual-weapons-from-around-the-world-and-across-time-9781662940651","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
