I'll never forget the first time I was sitting at home and the "Battletech" cartoon showed up on my living room Television. From that moment on I was hooked on pretty much anything that had a mech in it. But, enough about that you want to know what's in the book. Don't you? Well, This book focuses on the military forces of the Free Worlds League. It describes units, tactics, as well as awards and merits. Also, it states academies run within the League and offers historical insight into the League. I have not read the book cover to cover, But don't let that throw you on my opinion of the book. It has so much that I could not possibly wait to go through that book and absorb all that book could offer and to this day I am still not done. Will I recomend buying this book? yes as well as any other Field Manual for any other aspect of the Inner Sphere or the Clans.

This is a great book full of everything you need to know about the Free Worlds League. It contains things like new 'Mechs designs, weapons, and new battle armor. The unit summeries are very detailed and show the insignia of every main unit. The color pictures show the new battle armor and regimental paint schemes, which are very cool. This is one of the best Battletech books I own and I recommend it to everyone.

This could be the second incarnation of the House Marik book published in the late 80s, updated from the 3020s to 3059. It details everything you ever wanted to know about the Free Worlds League, right down to who is commanding what regiment. The book gives very detailed histories of practically every Marik unit, including unit size, proficiency and loyalty to the government. There are also some colored sections that show off the paint schemes of some prestigious units, some medals and a look at the Free Worlds League's battle armor units. This book is very thorough with all things concerning the FWL. There are, however, some typos in the book as well as some wrong entries in the index, but they aren't too bad and do not lessen the reading experience one bit. If you are looking for a good Battletech sourcebook to buy, this one is worth every penny.

I love the new Field Manuals that FASA has been publishing recently. However, the Marik book is probably the worst. Still, it is a worthy book with lots of useful information, but if you don't have any other field manuals yet I would suggest getting the Crusader clan book or the Draconis Combine instead.

BattleTech: Free Worlds League is good, and when I first got it I drooled over it. But, it gets old after awhile and now it's just another addition to my "library" of BattleTech source-books and novels.

This is the best book on FWL that you could find now. Its very good for someone who wants to start a FWL gaming unit. It tells things like ranks from Recruit to Capitan-Genenra, All the Free Wolrds League units like, Marik Militia,Atrean Dragoons,Siraian Lancers and more.So get the book NOW!
