The Bren Gun

Interesting and entertaining book. Well written.

Buen libro como todos los publicados por Osprey Publishing

This is one in a series of short, informative, well researched publications, containing lots of good photographs and details of particular weapons produced by major powers in WWI and WW2. If you have or collect or even intend to buy a legal or licensed automatic weapon, such as the BREN, MG 34 or MG 42, 1928A1 Thompson or other period weapon, this well illustrated slim publication is a quick reference for assorted attachments, sights, modifications, positioning and full range of tripods and other mounts. If you display, this is a real help, as the photo's depict the weapon in the extreme and active roll in combat. The series of publications carry a particular weapon through the idea or copy stage, modifications, trials and production models, in a time frame placed in history. Many of the mid 1900's weapons of the Great Powers and Axis were copied and improved after the war and became current, while others remained in service and were used in actions from Korea to Vietnam, and some are probably still in use in Africa rebel engagements. A "must have" booklet, reasonably priced and easily read.

This is certainly one of the better books in this wonderful series. Neil Grant is a great author and I very much fancy his fluent, direct and no nonsense writing style. He does not get lost in technical descriptions and really makes the subject come to life in this book. Very highly recommend for all you military hardware fans out there.

Libro veramente interessante e scorrevole, senza soffermarsi su troppi dettagli, spiega tutta la storia del Bren dalle origini all'impiego nella NATO
