Land Combat by Martin J Dougherty

Land Combat by Martin J Dougherty

Since 1914 the art and increasingly science of warfare has become ever deadlier. Tanks have become more mobile and more protected, artillery has come to dominate battlefields and even ordinary infantrymen are now equipped with body armour and lightweight fully automatic weapons, usually fitted with magnifying scopes. Containing full-colour artworks and action photographs, Land Combat is a comprehensive guide to how wars have been fought since the outbreak of World War I. All of the most famous wars and campaigns are featured, from the Western Front to the Blitzkrieg, the Arab-Israeli wars and Vietnam, up to the Gulf and the present day. Land Combat is an authoritative guide to the development of the fighting techniques used on the battlefield from 1914 to today.

'Along with some well written and informative texts, there are plenty of archive photos and also some fine colour profiles illustrating many of the weapons used throughout the period' * Military Model Scene *
The price for such a valuable book is not as high as you would expect, and it's recommended for those who would like to know more about past conflicts and military development. * DetailScaleView *
