Description

A very good first edition with some minor wear to the dust jacket. The book price written on orange front endpaper in pencil. No other writing or marks. A wonderful short and satirical look at the history of war and weaponry, from pointy sticks to nukes.

Fun fact – The full title of the book is: It All Started with Stones and Clubs: Being a Short History of War and Weaponry from Earliest Times to the Present, Noting the Gratifying Progress Made by Man Since His First Crude, Small-scale Efforts to Do Away with Those who Disagreed with Him. The book is a satirical piece, written in a comedic style and is part of Armour’s series of books that satirize history and other topics, including It All Started with Europa and It All Started with Hippocrates.
