Rifles: An Illustrated History of Their Impact (Weapons and Warfare) - Hardcover
From the musket to the M-16, rifles have played a major role in battle―sometimes tilting the scales in a pivotal moment of war. Yet all too often, poor decisions and ill-conceived "innovations" resulted in putting inappropriate weapons into ill-trained hands, with disastrous consequences.
· Primary documents including examples from original pamphlets describing the handling and use of specific weapons
· Photographs from the finest and most comprehensive collections of rifles in the world

Book Description:
About the Author:
From the earliest muskets to the present-day assault rifles, combat rifles have been developed to offer ever-increasing range, accuracy, effectiveness, and ease of use. But the story of the deployment of the infantry rifle is not one of continuous progress. How is it that the weapons on the front lines have too often been neither what the soldiers wanted nor needed?
David Westwood, Ph.D., is a freelance military historian concentrating on the German Army from 1933 to 1945.
