The Lord of the Rings: Weapons and Warfare, which is a reference book by Chris Smith and the Weta Workshop, published in 2003. It provides an in-depth look at the weapons, armor, and military strategies used in J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings book series, as well as the subsequent movie adaptations directed by Peter Jackson.

The book features detailed illustrations and photographs of the various weapons and armor used by the different races and factions in Middle-earth, including the Elves, Dwarves, Men, and Orcs. It also includes information on the history and cultural significance of each weapon and how it was crafted and used in battle.

In addition to covering the weapons and armor, the book also delves into the various military strategies and tactics employed by the armies in the story, such as the siege of Helm's Deep and the Battle of Pelennor Fields.

Overall, The Lord of the Rings: Weapons and Warfare is an excellent resource for fans of the books and movies who are interested in learning more about the weaponry and military strategies used in Middle-earth. It provides a fascinating look at the attention to detail and care that went into creating the world of The Lord of the Rings, both on the page and on the screen.

This is the movie visual companion that looks specifically at the weapons and history of warfare in The Lord of the Rings.

There are lots of photos of the weapons and armor featured in the movie, with occasional concept sketches. The writeup is incredibly detailed. There are lengthy discussions on the major battles, war zones, warriors, and other forms of weapon from Frodo's Sting sword to the scary Grond battling ram or the gigantic elephant-like Mumakil. There's even a range chart on how far different type of arrows can fly.

This isn't really a making-of book so you're won't read anything like how uncomfortable the actors felt while in suit. You'll know what type of wood Legolas' bow is made of, but not of the movie prop bow.

This is the book for all LOTR fans fascinated with weaponry and warfare.

I really enjoyed this... visual encylopaedia, I guess? It was really interesting: providing details on the armour and weapons used by the various races across Middle-Earth, the battles that took places across the film trilogy, whilst accompanied by incredibly detailed visual material. This is a great read for a Tolkien fan!
