Uniforms of the SCW

Really first rate drawings of the SCW. I am a Falange reenactor, and this book is really helpful at visuallizing what the uniforms looked like. Could it have been better yes. every books needs more. but all in all a good guide to help. I really liked the drawing of the Falange shock trooper. if you are looking for a Spanish civil war book that explains history look to a bigger book, as you will not know anything on any SCW book by page three
