Covering the hand-held firearms of Germany, Austria-Hungary, Bulgaria, and the Ottoman Empire, this book starts with an overview of the period leading up to World War I. During that time, the armed forces of these nations adapted existing weapons to their military needs while making massive strides to meet the unprecedented demand for small arms. Well-researched and illustrated, the book features specifications of key weapons and an impressive collection of photographs and drawings.
