Title: Good Book
Review: This is an interesting book. The story of the evolution of the repeating and later self-loading rifles weaves together divergent and often conflicting priorities, biases and technologies.It's nicely covered and makes a fascinating story - assuming you are interested in antique marshal arms. Detailed photographs are a plus. The author has another volume that covers German rifle development up to 1870 - apparently though not available in English.This book suffers from an awkward, probably too literal, translation into English that could have used another heavy edit or two. Also at one point several paragraphs are repeated. More sloppy editing.
