Quick review

The book presents cut trough aprox 300 different artillery weapons used worldwide during XX century including ICBMs and strategic AA missiles. Each weapon is presented with one illustration, brief description and tactical performance, and the book is brief in whole.
What I see as general failure is that space is spent to present missiles while some of the well known and famous artillery weapons are not presented at all like T-12 100mm cannon from USSR, nor any of Hispano weapons.
My other objection is that there is no data on period of use of guns, and on countries that used them.
