“W.H.B. Smith's Small Arms of the World is the seminal book for military historians, writers and military re-enactors desiring a detailed reference for early 20th Century firearms. The heavily illustrated book provided detailed information about each weapon including disassembly and assembly instructions. As a young firearms geek, I often checked out the book from my library in order to prepare for a military career. I've used that knowledge since then to add an air of authenticity to my writing. This is an excellent work, but has not been updated since the mid 20 Century.”
