Negative Positive
Title: Pitiful
Review: I own quite a number of the osprey books, usually I can find something in them to justify the purchase price, however this one is just plain bad, only three guns are discussed at all, the 2pdr, the 6pdr, and the 17pdr. Even here there are no tables for the different types of ammunition, a very cursory developement history, no comparison to foreign designs (except to say that the American 57mm M1 is a copy of the 6pdr, true but not relevant) The lack of a developement history and especially a discussion on what lead to the decision on building a 2pdr and later 6pdr gun was especially dissapointing. While it has problems Ian Hogg's Allied Artillery of WWII is a much better value.
Is the review positive or negative?
