BIBLIOGRAPHY

There are a number of excellent comprehensive books on military history for the period that this volume covers. Perhaps the best, at least in my opinion, are two outstanding studies by Edward Ezell. They are: Small Arms of the World, 12th edition, Stackpole Books, 1983, and Handguns of the World, Stackpole Books, 1981.

For early military revolvers, the two-volume work by Rolf H. Muller, Geschichte und Technik der Europaischen Militarrevolver, Journal-Verlag Schwend, 1982, is excellent.

For modern military weapons, Jane’s Infantry Weapons gives a broad overview, with technical data, of just about any modern military weapon in use in recent times.

Robert Balls’ book Mauser Military Rifles of the World, Krause publishing, is perhaps the best reference on the the numerous variations of the legendary Mauser designs.

Donald Webster’s book, Military Bolt Action Rifles, 1841-1918, Museum Restoration Service, 1993, filled some important gaps in information on early bolt action rifles.

There are additional titles that are of interest and offer beneficial information: Pistols of the World, 3rd ed., Hogg and Weeks, DBI Books, 1992. Rifles of the World, John Walter, DBI Books, 1993. Military Small Arms of the 20th Century, 7th ed., Hogg and Weeks, Krause Publications, 1999. Small Arms Today, 2nd ed., Edward Ezell, Stackpole Books, 1988. The Greenhill Military Small Arms Data Book, Ian Hogg, Greenhill Books, 1999. Modern Machine Guns, John Walter, Greenhill Books, 2000. The Encyclopedia of Modern Military Weapons, Chris Bishop, ed., Barnes & Noble, 1999. The World’s Submachine Guns, Vol. I, Thomas B. Nelson, 1964. The World’s Assault Rifles, Vol. II, Musgrave and Nelson, 1967. The World’s Fighting Shotguns, Vol. IV, Thomas F. Swearengen, Ironside, 1978. Flayderman’s Guide to Antique American Firearms...and Their Values, 7th edition, Krause Publications, 1998. Paul S. Scarlata’s Collecting Classic Bolt Action Military Rifles, Andrew Mobray Publishers, 2001, gives a good overview of this field for the collector. I have endeavored to give the reader a listing of helpful books of specific weapons at the beginning of each section, where applicable, so that he may easily pursue additional information that is outside the scope of this book.
