Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
An old proverb says that books are a man's best friend. This is even more true when the book is written by Jan C. Still. This author has accustomed us to perfection with his previous books, and this one is just as meritorious.
From the beginning there is a team working together with members of the NAPCA, but it needed a commander to analyse, choose, compile and select the hodgepodge of documents and photos, guns and accessories, etc., which he received from all over the world. With an agreeable but precise rhythm he has built up this book, chapter after chapter, respecting the historical facts. Jan C. Still is one of these great authors bestowed with an enchanting style of writing clearly, precisely, and concisely. -- From the Publisher
