Reviews

"This is an extremely interesting book, by an excellent author, with very good illustrations. Anyone interested in coastal defense or artillery should find it enjoyable and informative." --Coast Defense Journal "I found this book quite fascinating. Railway Guns of World War II explains an area of rail operations that is rarely covered." --Model Railroader News "If you enjoy history and want to find something different you might scratch-build for your layout, you had best look into Railway Guns of WWI and Rail-way Guns of WWII. I enjoyed them; I bet you will also." --Railroad Model Craftsman
