REVIEWS

"... guide to land combat history,... covers all conflicts since WW1. ...useful for tracking evolution of military during this timespan. ...extensive texts on history of the conflicts and used arms. Those chapters are also accompanied with nice artworks and real photos. ...With each year wars became even more deadlier. Soldier use more powerful weapons, vehicles became more advanced, and today's book should be a useful guide into this evolution of military. It covers almost all major conflicts since WW1 and will be useful in many cases. Moreover, well-thought structure and hardcover style should also be considered as advantage.... recommended for those who would like to know more about past conflicts and military development.
