Dr. McNab's work does a most admirable job of covering the history and evolution of this ubiquitous firearm. The book includes a great deal of technical detail differentiating the variety of weapons that have derived from Kalashnikov's early designs. The photo illustrations do an effective job of documenting the extent to which the AK47 and its derivatives have been adopted by fighting forces across the globe. Finally, the accessible style and readability of this work must rank it among the more valuable and useful references in any library.
