Anyone interested in modern weapons will find this a fascinating read.

There are those who write about weapons from behind a desk, relying on field reports, statistics and press releases to shape their opinions. There there is Peter G. Kokalis, who for 20 years traveled the globe -- risking enemy fire from the jungles of El Salvador to the desert of Africa-- to bring more exclusives to readers of Soldier of Fortune magazine than any other writer on small arms.

In this comprehensive anthology of Peter Kokalis' best articles from Soldier Of Fortune and Fighting Firearms magazines, you'll get authoritative reviews and detailed information on dozens of handguns, rifles, SMGs, sniper rifles and shotguns. You'll also travel with him as he trains El Salvador's Atlacatl Battalion, visits the cagey gun dealers of Afghanistan to test the elusive Soviet AGS-17 and goes where no Western writer has gone before for his groundbreaking eight-part series examining the weapons of the Chinese army.
