Recenzii
"You know that one book you're allowed to have on a desert island? Take this. You'll need it, if you're going to defend it!" -- Ziya Tong, host, Daily Planet
"Ever feared that raging Viking or Mongol invaders are about to attack your home? Gurstelle eases those concerns with a perfect blend of history and how-to, from building a battering ram-proof door and a house-surrounding moat, to making an updated version of Da Vinci's catapult. I haven't felt this safe, or productive, in centuries." -- Mike Senese, Executive Editor, MAKE
"Some designs lend themselves to science projects and would appeal to high school students as well as general readers. Practicality aside though, this book is a delight... readers will learn some military history while having a good time." -- Library Journal
"A fascinating journey for historians and makers alike. Neither of these elements are too focused on, leading to a very balanced and fun read." --FactoryTwoFour
"Gurstelle has done the research, so it isn't just the engineering but the history behind it that you take away... That's what separates this from a doomsday prepper's guidebook." --DoItYourself.com
