This book is a journey through some of Angus McBride's best historical artwork, depicting the world's most fearsome warriors, from Gladiators to Pirates to Zulus. Battle dress and arms are shown in unrivalled detail and brought to life in vivid scenes of fighting, pillaging and carousing.

A full text commentary accompanies each piece of artwork, providing the background to the image and helping readers to get more out of each illustration. The foreword, engagingly written by Men-at-Arms series editor Martin Windrow, provides a full introduction to Angus's life and work, and features paintings that have never before been published.
