The story as a whole from 1942 to 2018 is a broad area to cover in the available space, but the author has done a good job of that. I have a particular interest in the Battle of the Bulge and so the section on Bastogne was particularly interesting for me, but the area cover the events of World War 2 generally was the area the drew me the most. The Cold War section did not really draw me in despite being old enough to remember the Vietnam War. The last chapter covering Iraq and Afghanistan is another segment that I enjoyed.

The term Special Forces has come to encompass all highly trained special operations units from the British Commandos in 1940, but Special Forces go back through history to the ancient civilizations and were an important element during the American Civil War. – Very Highly Recommended

With the M65 Atomic Cannon having limited coverage by the model manufacturers I am really pleased to have a copy of this book from Pen and Sword as part of their ‘Images of War’ book series. The period photographs are a great visual reference on the M65 Atomic Cannon and with the very good captions provided with the photographs increasing their value even further. This weapon was never used in anger or as far as I am aware anything more than a deterrent to the Eastern BLOC countries and so I found the period pictures a really nice inclusion. It is also for this reason and the fact that it is just such a huge piece of equipment that the in detail section with the walk around and close ups is so valuable. The captions that accompany these images are really helpful as I feel it would prove next to impossible for the average person to know exactly what aspect of the vehicle they are looking at. In finishing this book and for that matter the series, offer fantastic value for money regardless.. Read more
