The most wide-ranging and visually arresting history of wars and warfare ever published, Warfare: The Definitive Visual History documents every major war or significant period of conflict in over 5,000 years of human history. A must-have reference gift for military enthusiasts and general readers alike, no other book about warfare contains such a diverse selection of imagery including contemporary paintings and photographs, objects and artifacts, and specially commissioned artworks, maps, and diagrams. Warfare: The Definitive Visual History includes a comprehensive directory of every major war, thematic spreads examining broader topics within the history of warfare, from the role of mercenaries, communications, and the treatment of wounded soldiers, and personal accounts and objects from soldiers and civilians that bring to life the human experience of battle. From the earliest known Wars in Sumeria and Ancient Egypt War to the occupation of Iraq, Warfare: The Definitive Visual History combines a coherent and compelling spread-by-spread historical narrative with a wealth of supporting features to recount the epic 5,000-year story of warfare and combat through the ages. Review: Motorcycle: The Definitive Visual History - This is a large, beautiful, informative book on the subject of motorcycles - couldn't have written a better one myself! The book runs through the development of bikes with plenty of illustrations, verbiage is not too excessive, photographs are plentiful. This book is on par with "Car - the definitive visual history of the automobile", I would recommend both books to anyone interested in these topics. Review: A great encycolpedia - I bought this as a gift for my Dad who collects old motorcycles. He was super excited to receive it and loved all the pictures and descriptions of many different bikes, some he didn't even know about. the layout of the book is really nice, it's easy to read and well made as most DK books are.

Great gift for husband
My husband loved this book! I gave it to him for our anniversary and the overall quality of the book itself is nice. It is a visually beautiful book. He has read through most of it and says it's very interesting and has a lot of small details other books don't go into

GREAT DK Motorcycle Book
Because I love DK books and have several...and because I love motorcycles and ride..I had to have this book. It's GREAT. High quality, beautiful photos and so many bikes I never saw before. On top of that...the book had pictures of two of my old bikes that I forgot all about!!! That was a big hit. My wife is not as thrilled as I am...but she's a girl. Geeze...... If you can find this book and if you love bikes....just buy it. The Vendor was fantastic too.

"The best history on motorcyles...ever." - My Dad
I bought this book as a gift for my dad, who is the biggest motorcycle enthusiast to ever walk the planet. He can't stop talking about this book! Absolutely loves it. He's read a lot of books on the history of motorcycles, and he said this is by far the best he's ever come across. The detail and amount of information is stunning -- overwhelming, to someone like myself -- but a dream come true to someone who can't get enough information on this topic, such as my dad. Based on the fact he just can't put this massive book down since I got it for him (back in January), I'd say it's a winner for any motorcycle enthusiast out there!

Great book for real enthusiasts!
I got this book for my girlfriend's father for Christmas. He's got a collection of several dozen bikes, goes to auctions all around the country, takes Harley road trips...He LOVED this book. This is a book for a guy who knows his ****. For someone who can seamlessly talk about early Indians and current Ducatis. Plus, it's loaded with pictures and there are a couple of cool inserts in the back of the book. All in all...very happy with it.

Motorcycle the ultimate Coffee Table book
This is a really excellent book. It traces the history of Motorcycles from before 1920. Of special note for me was the quality of the photography. There is a little text on the various years and it provides an overview, versus in-depth information. I have it on display in my living room for all to see. John

surprised...
Generally I always find and above trust the way amazon packs and sends its...But this books cover got torn right on the left side corner above the DK logo to the left. I have bought a lot of stuff from amazon.com where the packing was really amazing. Was it an affect of .com to .in.

The Man Knows Bikes
The book was a present for my daughter who is 12 and bike crazy. She thought it was the best book she had seen and it is really helping her to appreciate and enjoy bikes more.
