With the advent of World War I, infantry rapiers or cavalry sabers had practically become obsolete on the European battlefields due to the introduction of machine weapons and tanks. At the same time, in Japan, the samurai sword experienced an impressive renaissance due to the growing demand of Japanese officers for traditionally forged swords. Samurai Swords for the Material Battle tells the story of the last Samurai Swords forged for battle and answers the question of why Japan's soldiers entrusted their fate to these swords in the inferno of material battles. Impressive visual documents tell of the events of that time and allow the viewer to imagine the hell through which the soldiers of all warring parties went. Using the example of the works of contemporary swordsmiths, the author not only proves the art status of these swords. He also examines the question of whether only swords from Tamahagane can be genuine Nihon-to. Purists will be shocked by the estimation of a leading contemporary swordsmith who recommended that the Japanese War Ministry supply all swordsmiths with Manchurian steel. Likewise, the estimation of Japanese swordsmen who fought to the death with their swords is likely to turn many Budo devotees' idea of the ideal fighting sword on its head. Based on the personal fates of Japanese soldiers, the author evokes the spirit of the last samurai. The reader can understand how the Japanese sword myth and the samurai's code of honor shaped the Japanese society up to the time of the Second World War and had a decisive influence on their actions. By not looking at the swords in isolation, but placing them in the focus of contemporary historical events, this book differs from many reference books in this genre and complements the existing literature in a unique way. Competently and carefully researched, it is for the connoisseur of the subject as well as for beginners or readers interested in contemporary history a real treasure trove and exciting reading to the end.

在黑猩猩中觀察到使用物體作為武器的現象，這導致人們猜測，最早的人類在500萬年前就使用過武器。但是，無法使用物理證據來證實這一點，因為木製球桿，長矛和不規則形狀的石頭會留下模棱兩可的記錄。最早發現的明確武器是Schöningen長矛，八把木製長矛可以追溯到30萬年前。最早的古代武器是對新石器時代工具的進化改進，但對材料和製作工藝的重大改進導致了軍事技術的一系列革命。在青銅時代，也出現了第一個防禦性結構，這表明對安全性的需求增加。希臘大約在公元前1300年，鐵加工的發展對古代武器的發展產生了重要影響。但是，這並不是引入早期的鐵器時代的劍，因為它們並不比其青銅製的前輩優越，而是馬的馴化和c語言輪的廣泛使用。公元前2000年。這導致了輕便的馬拉戰車的誕生，事實證明，在此時代，提高機動性非常重要。

青銅代替了武器中的石頭。從歷史上看，劍是在青銅時代從匕首演變而來的。最早的標本可以追溯到公元前1600年。後來的《鐵器時代》劍仍然相當短，沒有交叉護衛。在羅馬晚期軍隊中發展起來的Spatha成為了中世紀歐洲劍的前身，最初被採用，並且只有在中世紀，它才發展成為帶有交叉後衛的古典武裝劍。早期的鐵器時代的劍與後來的鋼製劍明顯不同。它們是經過加工硬化的，而不是淬火硬化的，這使得它們在強度和硬度方面與早期的青銅劍大致相同或僅略好一些。這意味著它們在使用過程中仍可能彎曲變形。但是，生產更容易原材料的可用性更高，可以實現更大規模的生產。

Penggunaan objek sebagai senjata telah diamati di antara simpanse, yang mengarah ke spekulasi bahwa hominid awal menggunakan senjata sejak lima juta tahun yang lalu. Namun, hal ini tidak dapat dipastikan dengan menggunakan bukti fisik karena pentungan kayu, tombak, dan batu yang tidak berbentuk akan meninggalkan catatan yang ambigu. Senjata paling awal yang tidak ambigu yang dapat ditemukan adalah tombak Schöningen, delapan tombak lempar kayu yang berusia lebih dari 300.000 tahun. Senjata kuno paling awal adalah peningkatan evolusioner dari alat neolitikum akhir, tetapi peningkatan signifikan dalam bahan dan teknik kerajinan menyebabkan serangkaian revolusi dalam teknologi militer. Selama Zaman Perunggu, struktur pertahanan pertama dan juga muncul, menunjukkan peningkatan kebutuhan akan keamanan.Perkembangan pahat besi sekitar tahun 1300 SM di Yunani berdampak penting pada perkembangan senjata kuno. Itu bukanlah pengenalan pedang Zaman Besi awal, bagaimanapun, karena mereka tidak lebih unggul dari pendahulu perunggu mereka, melainkan domestikasi kuda dan penggunaan roda runcing secara luas oleh c. 2000 SM. Hal ini menyebabkan terciptanya kereta ringan yang ditarik kuda, yang peningkatan mobilitasnya terbukti penting selama era ini.

Việc sử dụng đồ vật làm vũ khí đã được quan sát thấy ở các loài tinh tinh, dẫn đến suy đoán rằng loài hominids ban đầu đã sử dụng vũ khí từ 5 triệu năm trước. Tuy nhiên, điều này không thể được xác nhận nếu sử dụng bằng chứng vật lý vì gậy gỗ, giáo và đá không định hình sẽ để lại một hồ sơ không rõ ràng. Những vũ khí rõ ràng sớm nhất được tìm thấy là giáo Schöningen, tám cây giáo ném bằng gỗ có niên đại hơn 300.000 năm. Những vũ khí cổ đại sớm nhất là những cải tiến tiến hóa của các công cụ thời kỳ đồ đá mới, nhưng những cải tiến đáng kể về vật liệu và kỹ thuật chế tạo đã dẫn đến một loạt cuộc cách mạng trong công nghệ quân sự. Trong thời kỳ đồ đồng, các công trình phòng thủ đầu tiên cũng xuất hiện, cho thấy nhu cầu an ninh ngày càng cao.Sự phát triển của nghề luyện sắt vào khoảng năm 1300 trước Công nguyên ở Hy Lạp đã có tác động quan trọng đến sự phát triển của các loại vũ khí cổ đại. Tuy nhiên, đó không phải là sự ra đời của những thanh kiếm thời kỳ đồ sắt đầu tiên, vì chúng không vượt trội hơn so với những thanh kiếm tiền nhiệm bằng đồng của chúng, mà là việc thuần hóa ngựa và sử dụng rộng rãi các bánh xe có gai của c. 2000 năm trước công nguyên. Điều này dẫn đến sự ra đời của xe ngựa kéo nhẹ, có khả năng di chuyển được cải thiện tỏ ra quan trọng trong thời đại này.
