An Illustrated History of the Weapons of WWII: A comprehensive directory of the military weapons used in World War Two, from field artillery and tanks ... fighters, with more than 180 photographs Review: highly recommended - this is not an item with many reviews, but I would highly recommend this because it doesn't strive to be the all inclusive book on every weapon and detail of every weapon used in the war. What it does do is give a good amount of information on the large majority of WWII weapons. If you want more information you would need to find a book devoted to that specific interest of yours. Good add to anyones collection. Review: One Star - Too general and with some mistake on the photo. Not recommended

Basic Guide to WW II Weapons and Equipment!
A companion piece to Ian Westwall's ILLUSTRATED HISTORY OF THE WEAPONS OF WORLD WAR ONE, Donald Sommverille's ILLUSTRATED HISTORY OF THE WEAPONS OF WORLD WAR TWO is a guide to the major weapons and equipment used by the combatants from 1939 to 1945. Topping out at 96 pages, Sommerville's book serves as a basic but nicely-illustrated overview of its subject. Published by England's Southwater Press, Sommerville's book divides its subject matter into chapters on 'Army Weapons,' 'Air Force Weapons' and 'Naval Weapons,' it provide short summaries of such weapons as fighters, mines, aircraft carriers, V-2s, artillery pieces, anti-tank guns, infantry weapons, infantry support weapons, WMD, midget subs, night fighters, depth charges, landing craft, jets, etc. This and the Westwall book will be of especial value to readers new to the subject. Recommended.
