Gunpowder Armies

This volume from Concord Publications is illustrated by several artists including Argus McBride and Robert Hook whose work is simply outstanding.

The volume focuses a lot on British and American troops to the exclusion of combatants from the Thirty Years War, the French Wars of Religion, Seven Years War, etc.

While Hook's illustrations are inspired, Dr. Tim Newark's accounts of each type is somewhat adequate this time. Anyone, one buys these for the illustrations and not the text.

"One - You lock the target
Two - You bait the line
Three- You slowly spread the net
And four - You catch the man"
