Best Ebook Helmets and Body Armor in Modern Warfare (Classic Reprint)By Bashford Dean

Excerpt from Helmets and Body Armor in Modern WarfareThe present book aims to consider the virtues and failings of helmets and body armor in modern warfare. To this end it brings together materials collected from all accessible sources; it shows the kinds of armor which each nation has been using in the Great War, what practical tests they will resist, of what materials they are made, and what they have done in saving life and limb. As an introduction to these headings there has now been added a section which deals with ancient armor; this enables us to contrast the old with the new and to indicate, in clearer perspective, what degree of success the latest armor may achieve in its special field.The results of our inquiry will show:(1) That the helmet has been adopted as part of the regular military equipment of many nations.(2) That helmets and body armor have been found, in broad averages, of distinct advantage to the wearers.(3) That body armor, in spite of the protection which it affords, finds little favor with the soldier. For numerous reasons, he would rather take his chances of injury.(4) That effort should be made, none the less, to demonstrate more clearly the protective value of body armor, to improve its material and design, and to reduce to a minimum the discomfort which will always be experienced by its wearer, - in a word, to meet the objections to the use of armor which have been brought up on the sides both of theory and of practice.In preparing the following pages I have sought and secured aid from many sources. I am most of all indebted to the Department of War of the United States, for access to documents and materials as well as for permission to make use of them in publication.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
