Instruments Of Death

In days gone by, death came at close quarters. This was a time when warriors stood toe-to-toe with their enemy; when battlefields were confused hell holes where men hacked desperately at each other; where no mercy was expected and none was given. This series explores the realities of taking a crushing blow from a battle axe or being hit by a deadly arrow from a longbow. The experience of facing mortar and artillery fire; or of attacking into a hail of bullets from muskets or machine guns. Instruments of Death place some of history s deadliest weapons in your hands. Through a series of innovative tests and modern experiments, you ll see at first hand the effects of the blade and the bullet on a human being. You ll find out how just effective shields, armour and helmets actually were. And how the wounds suffered by ordinary soldiers were treated on the battlefield.
