3.0 out of 5 stars
book has much erroneous information, lacks indepth research, July 24, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Kalashnikov (Greenhill Military Manuals) (Hardcover)
Walter's book on the Kalashnikov rifle started with a good premise-to catalog the many different variations of the AK family among it's 70 million produced weapons. The book falls far short of Masami Tokoi's masterpiece and classic reference work"AK-47 & KALASHNIKOV VARIATIONS." and is still inferior to Kalashnikov arms own catalog on the subject. Many of the entries were incomplete or glossed over, and there were glaring omissions of numerous variations. Additionally many of the photos were improperly captioned,giving one the impression that the author really doesn't know his subject matter very well. for the low price an o.k. book, for serious reference work very poor.
