Following the format of our tremendously popular WWII books, this is a large-format volume overflowing with beautiful photography and historical commentary on all the major battle rifle designs of the Cold War NATO and NATO-adjacent powers. Specifically: * Precursors – the development of the Battle Rifle from the Mondragon through the Second World War * FAL – FN’s iconic Fusil Automatique Leger, designed by John Browning’s protege Dieudonné Saive in Belgium * G3 – the roller-delayed blowback system designed by Mauser engineers in the late days of the Second World War, and its progeny * M14 – the updated American Garand rifle, and its cousins like the Italian BM59 * AR-10 – Armalite’s futuristic wonder rifle that came so close to adoption and which ultimately created the AR-15 * MAS – the French copy no one, and no one copies the French, especially in Cold War small arms * Others – lesser-used but still relevant rifles, from the E.M.2 bullpup to the SIG Stgw. 57 and the Danish LAR More than 70 different rifles from collections across six countries and filling more than 460 pages!
