About this eBook
Combat Armor explores the fascinating evolution of personal protection, from the armor of medieval knights to the futuristic designs seen in manga. Bridging military history and design, the book delves into the science, cultural impact, and enduring appeal of armor. One intriguing area examined is how historical armorâs limitations influenced the development of military strategies. Additionally, the book investigates how manga artists conceptualize next-generation personal defense systems, blending technological possibilities with creative expression.
The book is structured in three parts, beginning with fundamental concepts of armor protection, then examining the evolution of real-world armor chronologically, from Roman infantry to World War II flak jackets. Finally, the book analyzes combat armor design in manga. This approach provides a unique perspective by directly comparing historical and speculative designs, offering a deeper understanding of the technological and cultural forces shaping our understanding of personal protection.
