This is a nicely balanced work looking at the various weapons used by Elite Forces around the world. Following a brief introduction and a recap on weapons in WWII, the author then embarks on the whys and wherefores of Elite Forces having weapons such as those covered in the book. Weapons used by these specialist units engaged in counter-terrorist operations are not developed for their sole and exclusive use. The weapons are standard types, which just happen to be used by these Elite units. They are trained to an exceptionally high degree of proficiency beyond that of the ordinary soldier. The contents are well laid out and all weapon types covered from pistols to sniper rifles and shotguns. A summary of accessories is useful. All in all, a very interesting read.

A well-researched and scholarly read, which exposes much about the less familiar details of Nelson's campaigns. It is a thoroughly interesting book for anyone partial to picking up a book about life in the past on the seven seas.
