a great encyclopedia for anyone interested in the military,
By A Customer
This review is from: Brassey's Encyclopedia of Land Forces and Warfare (Association of the United States Army) (Hardcover)
just like the name it is an encyclopedia, not just in name, so there is no contents just alphabetical order. Also the book does not have one author but all articles are written by military leaders from around the world.
