Customer Reviews

this book is good

this book covers everything from aegis cruisers to M1A1 tanks. It is a good book. It doesn't go into detail about weapons but it does mention a weapon's stregths weaknesses and performance specs.

GREAT DESCRIPTIONS!!!

This book is OUTSTANDING! When my friend bought this for me as a b-day gift I was very pleased, but I was certain it would go into rifles, handguns, and more unit sized weapons but instead it covers everything from rockets to ships. I was not disappointed. Great for future military personel.

A great reference book.

This encyclopedia has references to every military weapon imaginable. It is the most thorough encyclopedia of military weapons systems I have read to date.
