Backyard Ballistics author William Gurstelle poses this fascinating question to modern-day garage warriors and shows them how to build an arsenal of ancient artillery and fortifications aimed at withstanding these invading hordes. Each chapter introduces a new bad actor in the history of warfare, details his conquests, and features weapons and fortifications to defend against him and his minions. Clear step-by-step instructions, diagrams, and photographs show how to build a dozen projects, including Da Vinci's Catapult, Carpini's Crossbow, a Crusader-Proof Moat, Alexander's Tortoise, and the Cheval-de-frise. With a strong emphasis on safety, the book also gives tips on troubleshooting, explains the physics behind many of the projects, and shows where to buy the materials. By the time, they have reached the last page, at-home defenders everywhere will have succeeded in creating a fully fortified home.
