Hardback. Condition: As New. Military history has a habit of focusing on generals, famous battles and grand strategy, while quietly overlooking the fact that someone still had to carry the rifle. The Complete Encyclopedia of Automatic Army Rifles shifts the spotlight back where it belongs?onto the remarkable firearms that shaped conflicts across the twentieth century and beyond, charting the evolution of one of the soldier?s most important pieces of equipment. Written by A. E. Hartink, this substantial reference work explores the development of automatic and selective-fire military rifles from their early experimental beginnings through to the sophisticated assault rifles carried by modern armed forces. Covering designs from around the world, it explains how changing tactics, new ammunition and advances in engineering continually reshaped military thinking, often producing rifles that became every bit as famous as the armies that carried them. One of the book?s greatest strengths is its breadth. Legendary names sit comfortably alongside lesser-known designs that briefly promised to revolutionise warfare before quietly disappearing into obscurity. Some rifles became icons, serving for decades across multiple continents. Others enjoyed careers measured in months before somebody realised they had a slight tendency to jam, overheat or otherwise demonstrate a worrying enthusiasm for mechanical improvisation at precisely the wrong moment. The photography throughout is excellent, with large colour illustrations showcasing each firearm in impressive detail. Close-up images reveal the craftsmanship, engineering and distinctive features of every design, while the accompanying specifications provide an invaluable reference for collectors, historians and anyone fascinated by military technology. It is the sort of book that encourages readers to compare sights, stocks and operating mechanisms with an enthusiasm that may surprise even themselves. Hartink?s writing keeps the technical information approachable, explaining complex mechanical developments without assuming the reader already possesses the knowledge of an armourer. The result is a volume that serves equally well as a serious reference work and as something to browse on a rainy afternoon, inevitably leading to the discovery of fascinating rifles you?d never previously encountered but now feel strangely compelled to know more about. Of course, like any good encyclopaedia, this one has an uncanny ability to send readers wandering off into unexpected historical rabbit holes. You begin by looking up one famous service rifle and, half an hour later, find yourself absorbed in the development history of a prototype adopted by precisely one country for approximately five minutes. Somehow, it all becomes unexpectedly compelling. Our copy is in As New condition, looking considerably fresher than many of the service rifles featured within. The pages are crisp, the binding is immaculate, and it remains an impressive, heavily illustrated reference that deserves a place on the shelves of military historians, collectors and students of engineering alike. From all of us at Crappy Old Books , where our own arsenal extends little further than a particularly stubborn roll of parcel tape and the occasional sharp paper cut, comes a comprehensive guide to the engineering, history and innovation behind the military rifle. Fortunately, this is one heavyweight reference that?s far more dangerous to your free time than anything else. Seller Inventory # 6795
