The M1 Garand by Leroy Thompson

The M1 Garand gave the US infantryman a marked edge during World War II. It shot faster and further than enemy infantry rifles and hit harder. No less an authority on killing the enemy than General George S Patton called the Garand, The greatest battle implement ever devised. This book deals with this rifle.

Leroy Thompson has trained military and police special-operations units around the world, focusing especially on the tactical use of firearms. He is the author of more than 50 books, including The Browning High-Power Pistol for Osprey.

Alan Gilliland is a writer, illustrator and publisher who has contributed to more than 70 Osprey titles.

Peter Dennis studied Illustration at Liverpool Art College. He has since contributed to hundreds of books, predominantly on historical subjects, including many Osprey titles. A keen wargamer and modelmaker, he is based in Nottinghamshire, UK.
