Following on the success of the Thompson SMG, it was hard to get soldiers to like this cheaper weapon, but it was well used and has an interesting story behind it. This book is well written and covers most of the bases for this gun, including the development the preceding types that didn’t succeed as the Thompson replacement that the M3 would eventually become. These include the Reising, the UD M42, and the Hyde M2. All these weapons are interesting in themselves and could probably use one of these books covering the lot of them, as they did see some limited production and service. We get in depth into the M3, it’s flaws and fixes, and troop opinions on it. In fact there’s lots of first hand accounts in the Combat chapter, which is great to see, however there’s almost so many of them there isn’t a ton of actual general performance text. Also something I was looking for more solid information on was when troops actually received them first and who, and when they would be first seeing action. It’s pointed that on D-Day was the first action, but who was equipped with them and how many and so on would be great information to have. Most of this chapter is devoted to WWII even though it would only enter in the last year of fighting, but there’s also a couple pages on Korea, Vietnam and after conflicts, although they are less in depth. The final chapters does give a good compassion to other stamped SMGs of the time, the Sten, MP-40, Sterling and PPS 43. Overall good read on this overlooked gun
