This review is from: The War in Cambodia 1970-75 (Men-at-Arms) (Kindle Edition)
This was a very good read, and I certainly came away with more knowledge on the Cambodian conflict than I did before. However, the one qualm that I had was that it provided little in depth info ob the weapons used by the ground forces of the government. It leaves out little when discussing the airforce, and the navy and Khmer rouge, but I found out more about the government ground forces arsenal from the images, plates and even wikipedia, than I did from the book! Besides this, I think osprey has done it again!
