While reading a book about the history of the machine gun, there was mention of several different machine guns I had never heard of or had seen pictures of. The author of that book mentioned this book in particular as a good source of information on the machine gun. Ian Hogg, one of the authors of this book I had heard of previously and knew that any book he had authored would be a great source. The book also lists rifles, pistols, sub machine guns and is divided by country of manufacture.. If you have any interest in machine guns and any other military small arms, this is a great source of information.
