istari Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 Hi all, Looking for some help. I recently picked up "German Automatic Weapons of World War 2" by Robert Bruce, and found it an excellent resource. He uses reenactors to walk through each of the major automatic weapons from the perspective of the individual soldier, adding a layer of detail I haven't found before in other books. Highly recommended. Now I've heard that the author, Robert Bruce, also wrote a book called "US Automatic Weapons of World War 2", using a similar approach. Unfortunately, searches on-line keep drawing a blank - Amazon and other on-line booksellers don't have it. Any ideas from the WWII grognards here on where I might search to find a copy? Thanks much!

dieseltaylor Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 http://www.crowoodpress.co.uk/ You could contact his publishers. I could not see the title you wish in their extensive list of titles. Some of them are very groggy : ) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
istari Posted September 25, 2006 Author Share Posted September 25, 2006 Diesel Taylor, Thanks for the ideas. I've contacted Crowood for any pointers, but if you (or anyone else!) know of other military history bookstores, I'd welcome a tip or two ;> Chris 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
