Firearms of the Islamic World: in the Tared Rajab Museum, Kuwait
Пожалуй лучшее специализированное издание по исламскому огнестрелу.

The first surviving reference to the use of gunpowder appears in a Chinese manuscript dating from 1044 AD. The formula for gunpowder was passed to the Arabs via India and Persia and its first use in firearms in Europe is reported at the Arab siege of Spain in 1324. While much has been written about the history of firearms in Europe and North America, their development in the Islamic world and their subsequent history there has been almost totally neglected.
Elgood, uses the collection of firearms from the Tareq Rajab Museum in Kuwait to explore the subject. The collection ranges from Morocco to India, China and Central Asia, taking in almost every country in between. Elgood describes the artistry and beauty of antique firearms, focusing on the use of decoration and great craftsmanship as well as the technological innovations that were developed, and looking at the different cultures of the Islamic world.

The Arms of Greece and Her Balkan Neighbors in the Ottoman Period
Robert Elgood

The Ottoman Balkans were by far the greatest center of weapons manufacture in the Islamic world, and their wares were exported far and wide. Each town developed its own style not only in weaponry but also in silver decoration and costume, often with splendid results. Traditional arms were held in great esteem, and weapons were personalized by their successive owners, most commonly by the addition of elaborate silver work. Decorations were sometimes commissioned to commemorate a gun’s success in protecting its owner through a particularly tough campaign.

The Greek war of liberation in the 1820s brought large numbers of the sultan’s soldiers to the country, and their captured arms fill Greece’s museums today. Although subject peoples under the Ottoman Empire were forbidden to ride horses or to bear arms, a great many weapons found their way into the hands of freedom fighters. Some of these weapons are magnificent; others are so poor that one wonders that a man should risk his life with such a thing. Yet it is from these arms, wielded by men of remarkable courage and determination, that a free and independent Greece emerged. 450 color illustrations

Firearms: A Global History to 1700
Kenneth Chase

Kenneth Chase traces the history of firearms from their invention in China in the 1100s to the 1700s, when European firearms had become clearly superior. In Firearms, Chase asks why it was the Europeans who perfected firearms, not the Chinese, and answers this question by looking at how firearms were used throughout the world. Early firearms were restricted to infantry and siege warfare, limiting their use outside of Europe and Japan. Steppe and desert nomads imposed a different style of warfare on the Middle East, India, and China--a style incompatible with firearms. By the time that better firearms allowed these regions to turn the tables on the nomads, Japan's self-imposed isolation left Europe with no rival in firearms design, production, or use, with lasting consequences. After earning his doctorate from Harvard in the area of East Asian Languages and Civilizations and traveling extensively in Asia, Kenneth Chase pursued a career in the law. His interest in history endures unabated, however, and after nine years of research on firearms, he is now working on a history of international trade in the Indian Ocean region in the 1300s and 1400s.

Giving Up the Gun: Japan's Reversion to the Sword, 1543-1879
Noel Perrin

Was there ever a time when a civilization, technically sophisticated, and in full possession of its senses, reverted to earlier, less advanced technology? You bet - Japan, 1543-1879. During this period Japan effectively prohibited all manufacture of firearms and gunpowder, and isolated itself from the rest of the world with a blockade that remained successful until Commodore Perry's celebrated "opening of Japan" in 1854. An altogether fascinating book - because Perrin is a consistently good storyteller, because even his footnotes are a delight to read, and because this is a story that really has few parallels in modern history. "A fascinating story...thoroughly enjoyable - filled with marvelous anecdotes and illustrations." (Washington Post Book World)

Guns for the Sultan: Military Power and the Weapons Industry in the Ottoman Empire (Cambridge Studies in Islamic Civilization)
Gábor Ágoston

Agoston's book is the first to examine the weapons technology and armaments industries of the Ottoman empire, the only Islamic empire that threatened Europe on its own territory in the Gunpowder Age. By considering topics such as technology transfer, the integration of firearms in the Ottoman army and navy, and saltpetre and gunpowder production, the books explains the success of the Ottoman military machine against its European and Muslim rivals from the fifteenth through seventeenth century. It goes on to suggest why Ottoman military capabilities declined in the eighteenth century.

Великая огнестрельная революция
Виталий Викторович Пенской

Уникальное издание, не имеющее себе равных! Первое отечественное исследование Великой огнестрельной революции XV–XVII вв., перевернувшей не только военное дело, но и всю историю человечества. По мере распространения огнестрельного оружия на смену прежней ударной тактике (когда на поле боя преобладала пехотная пика, а главным родом войск были пикинеры) пришел «огневой бой», дистанционное поражение противника массированным огнем мушкетеров и артиллерии, – так, в крови и пороховом дыму, умирало Средневековье и рождалось Новое Время.
Военная революция, чреватая радикальными социальными преобразованиями, с разной скоростью протекала в Западной Европе, на Руси, в Речи Посполитой и Оттоманской империи – именно этими различиями во многом объясняется возвышение Запада и упадок Восточной и Юго-Восточной Европы, а запоздалый отказ Руси от «османской» военной модели в пользу западноевропейской традиции во многом предопределил особый путь развития русской цивилизации.
