  1. Veritabelt uppslagsverk till kanonpris
    Markus, 19 september 2014

    Är du ute efter information om uniformernas historia under 1:a vk så är denna bok ett veritabelt uppslagsverk till ett verkligt kanonpris. Jättefina illustrationer på alla tänkbara länder och varianter med bra informativ text. Och på "köpet" får du en extra bok om alla de stora slagen i korthet och en mängd annan information för den som är intresserad av just denna del av historien. Oumbärlig för den som tex målar historiska miniatyrfigurer från denna period i historien.
