This book celebrates more than a decade of collecting by the Metropolitan Museum's Department of Arms and Armor since the reinstallation of its permanent galleries in 1991. The new acquisitions complement and build upon the Museum's encylopedic collection, which totals more than 14,000 objects from Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and North America. Fifty-eight of the most important recent acquisitions are featured in this volume, including the richly decorated armor and weapons of two French kings, the king of Sweden, and a future king of England, several members of the ruling Medici family of Florence, a hero of the American Revolution, two sultans of Turkey, and the Tokugawa shoguns of Japan.

This book was pretty much what I expected it to be. Having read "The Art of Chivalry", a sort of catalouge of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection of arms and armour, I was had a good idea of what would be the general format of this book. It picks up where "Chivalry" left off, providing photos and a general description of some of the pieces the museum has aquired over the last 2 decades. Altogether an OK source but more of an annex to the first book. ( )
