Description: Lot of 3 books: A Soldier’s Life AND Mummies and Pyramids AND The Usborne Book of Secret Codes (1) A SOLDIER'S LIFE: A Visual History of Soldiers Through the Ages by Andrew Robertshaw From a Roman legionary, a Viking warrior and a Norman knight to a Cheyenne brave and a WWII British infantryman, this paperback looks in detail at the lives of more than 35 individual soldiers through the ages. Based on real soldiers and the battles in which they fought, the book shows each one in uniform, the weapons he used, the equipment he carried, and the food he ate. Shown here in a stock photo, this book includes 140+ photos, a glossary of military terms, a list of places to visit, and a comprehensive time line. The text is written at 5th grade level, but this may also be of interest to adults interested in re-enacting or the painting of military miniatures. Some pages have slight wrinkling, but this is in good condition otherwise. (2) THE USBORNE BOOK OF SECRET CODES by Eileen O'Brien and Diana Riddell Many of the codes discussed in this well-illustrated paperback are based on those used by real spies. It includes information on invisible writing, code games, double and triple bluffs, and on these codes: letter swap, pigpen, snail, calendar, telephone, Morse, code wheel, technobabble, newspaper, nifty number, jumble, and dot.
