5.0 out of 5 stars one of the best,,,,
This is one of the best books on a rather broad subject matter. The authors have done a commendable job of covering the availability and use of firearms during one of the most dramatic times in American history.

3.0 out of 5 stars Rough construction. More info on avail. calibers and model yrs.
The book contains a great number of vintage photos - worth every penny. The construction is crude: slightly creased pages through-out the entire book, no illustration on the binding, and some damage from bundle strapping... Not good for $85.00. The paper used is a heavy gloss; that's a plus.

This is one of the best books on a rather broad subject matter. The authors have done a commendable job of covering the availability and use of firearms during one of the most dramatic times in American history. Not only do they document the use of major manufacturers products, they also cover the use and possession of lesser known products as well. This is a well written and entertaining compendium of information that is bound to go down in literature history as one of the great books on the subject it covers. I recommend this book if you have any interest in this subject. It is well worth the money spent!

The book contains a great number of vintage photos - worth every penny. The construction is crude: slightly creased pages through-out the entire book, no illustration on the binding, and some damage from bundle strapping... Not good for $85.00. The paper used is a heavy gloss; that's a plus.

I would prefer a chapter format where they outlined the firearms featured - covering production dates, available calibers, and optional configurations (barrel lengths, etc.). Thank You.
