 Lousy book February 11, 2004
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
I bought a hardbound edition of this book and did not read beforehand the reviews about this book. Well, this lousy book begs for a lousy review.I was surprised to see a stupid book about a very excellent firearm. Its incompleteness is extensive. This is basically a disinformation book (maybe counter-intelligence material). Pictures are drab and unclear. No wonder this book describes H&K as Armorers of the Free World. There is NONE around.

I was very dissapointed with this book. It is full of mis-placed photo's , regurgetated info from other worthwhile books, and basically poorly edited. The examples of the authers own HK91 are a cheap clone.There is nothing new in this book and it is poorly written.
Book full of incorrect information October 29, 2001

I must say that I'm genuinly supprised to see that anyone's willing to publish a book so full of mistakes. Not only a great number of caption texts of pictures are misleading and contain errors but there are may faulty statements in the actual text of this book. Most of the mistakes are obvious to anyone familiar with HK weapons (something the author clearly is not) but this leads to serious lack of credibility regarding the things the author writes about the history of the company. I will not be buying any more books by this author and I can not recommend this book to anyone. If you know HK weapons, this book has nothing to offer to you and if you don't then you are better of finding the information from better sources.
 The story behind a remarkable arms maker September 23, 2001
3 out of 7 found this review helpful
To use a Heckler & Koch firearm is to discover a company whose products are incredibly rugged and well designed. This book is a great history of H&K and it's development as well as a history of the arms. It is no wonder that H&K is the arm of choice for those with serious business, from law enforcement to special ops. Every model is covered from sporting rifles to the USP pistols, from the exotic MP5 and the Mark 23 to the small P7. A good book for the H&K enthusiast.
