Review: Well worth having - As an avid fan of military history I have several volumes for reference and this is a real diamond. It covers pistols, rifles, light and heavy machine guns and artillery as well as the development of ammunition from black powder to self contained rounds. If you want a good solid starting point then you could do a lot worse than starting from here
Review: Great book for History buffs! My son and husband love looking and discussing with the book. So great.
