American Submachine Guns, 1919–1950: Thompson SMG, M3 "Grease Gun," Reising, UD M42, and Accessories (Classic Guns of the World, 2)

Understanding.

This is an affordable nicely done book. It's a good source of visual information for those interested in SMG's.

Photos and historical info are great and this reads pretty easily (I read in one setting in evening). Explains the evolution of the M1Tommy very well, and uses by crime, military and police (and USPS). This book is translated from French (almost too literally), so some sentences read a bit awkward. (je parle français, btw)Worth it and recommended ! Will be a great 'coffee table' conversation book too !

I just received my Thompson book. Smaller in pages compared to my other Thomspn books, but also less expensive.There are colored pictures showing details, take down and the differences between the models. I believe its a good value.and a good book for the beginner.

Great Product

A nice photographic review of US SMG of ww2. Scarce technical contents, but great pictures and accurate description of models and versions of SMG. Good for collectors and reenactors.

Outstanding photography, and some oroginal infirmation I had not found in any other source. All the books in this series (the other two are the german smg's and the sten) are equally goid, well wirth the price and I hope the author produces additional books on weapons in a similar format

Great information in a pictoral format! A feast for the eyes.

bellissima monografia sul mitragliatore Thompson M1 americano, ricca di notizie e fotografie dei vari modelli prodotti alle quali si aggiunge una dettagliata descrizione di altri modelli di mitragliatori usati dai G.I. fino agli anni '50. Dedicato ai collezionisti ed agli appassionati di cose militari americane, consente di avere un quadro dettagliato sui vari modelli del Thompson e sulle piccole variazioni nel corso della sua produzione.

Over the top!! From the photos to the text, i have 3 of these Books from the series and they are all amazing!! I love the size and layout of these books!!You will not be disappointed!
