A shield can be crafted by using a piece of iron in the middle of the crafting table and then placing wood, stone, iron, gold or diamond around it. The shield is useless until crafted with a sword of the same type (for example a wooden sword can only be crafted with a wooden shield) right next to it.
When it comes to combat you use the right mouse button to deflect an attack but only when your right mouse button is held down and you can not attack while holding the right mouse button down. The shield will not wear down at the same pace as the sword and will have a different health bar.if your sword breaks the shield will return into your inventory to be crafted later and if your shield breaks the sword is just left there. Shield can not deflect a creeper or a ghasts explosion but will reduce the damage taken.

Actually, a shield is a very powerful and deadly weapon, most people assume they are completely defensive items.
An average shield is capable of dropping about 4g's of force onto a target. If it doesn't kill a target outright, it will definitely cripple them. Also, try knocking someone upside the head with a shield... yeah...
As far as the suggestion goes, already been suggested.
You left click with a shield in-hand to attack, it will do 1 heart more damage than fists and will knock-back the target
You can Sneak while holding the shield, it will protect the part that is getting protected, you will be going slow
You can right click with the Spartan shield in-hand, and you will whip it like a Frisbee, Doesn't go that far (maybe like 3 to 5 blocks, and does the same damage as if you were attacking with left click
