Weapons are a good addition, September 3, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: British Royal Marines: Amphibious Division of the United Kingdom's Royal Navy (Inside Special Operations) (Leather Bound)
I agree with the reviewer that it would be desirable to see more pages dedicated to the history and evolution of the BMR, but at the same time, the books in this series seem to have a limited page count, and it appears that the author chose to touch briefly on multiple areas rather than delve deeper into a few. Given the relatively low age range of this book's audience and the fact that more boys than girls will be drawn to the subject matter, I like the idea of including a weapons section. It makes the book feel more relevant to modern times, shows some of the amphibious weaponry you wouldn't encounter in books on other forces, and injects the book with a visceral energy akin to the combination of sandboxes and green army men.
