Description
The Lord of the Rings: Weapons and Warfare, by Chris Smith, paperback book
“The Official Illustrated Guide to the Battles, Arms & Armies in The Lord of the Rings Trilogy
Lavishly illustrated with 1,000 photos, paintings, maps, sculptures and sketches, most appearing here for the first time, this is an indispensable chronicle of The Lord of the Rings’ many creatures, warriors, armies and battlegrounds. From the graceful and proficient Elves to the horrendous war machines of the Dark Lord, each culture’s approach to warfare is explained – how they fought, why they were fighting, what armour they wore and what weapons they used against their enemies. Now you can get as close to a marauding Orc as you could ever wish, without suffering the consequences!
Treating the film-makers’ notes, designs and props as a true archive, every major conflict depicted in the film trilogy is described in detail – from The Last Alliance of Elves and Men to the climactic Battle of the Pelennor Fields – with each accompanied by a unique illustration from the films’ chief designers.
Armed with a wealth of fascinating facts and unique imagery, and with an exclusive foreword by Christopher Lee and an introduction by Academy Award-winning Richard Taylor, Weapons and Warfare promised to be the most striking companion to The Lord of the Rings movie trilogy published to date.”
