Reviews

"When you add in the great photos, superb art work and various stat tables, you get a very good look at how well these adversaries performed against each other. It makes for a superb read and a book that I can easily recommend." --Modeling Madness "This story has so many dimensions, I have to recognize the author for doing an excellent job given the space provided to summarize them all. Highly recommended." --AMPS "I really enjoyed improving my understanding of the development of the Soviet BMP and US Bradley and their impact in the 1991 Gulf War from Mike Guardia." --IPMS/USA "Roundly recommended!" --Cybermodeler Online
